Leicester open mic night gives local singers a stage

Markfield Open Mic returns to the Coach & Horses as a monthly pub night for musicians and singers looking for a local stage.

The event is listed as running from Thursday 11 June 2026 to Thursday 14 October 2027 at Coach & Horses, 196 Leicester Road, Markfield, LE67 9RF. The listing does not state a start time, ticket price or booking requirement. It is aimed at musicians and singers, with backing support available for performers who need it.

Monthly music at Coach & Horses in Markfield

The Markfield Open Mic is built around a simple format: a welcoming pub setting where performers can get up and play, sing or try material in front of a local audience.

According to the event listing, the organisers can “back you up” or find tracks online for performers. That detail matters for singers who may not arrive with a full band, a regular accompanist or a prepared backing file. It also makes the night more approachable for people who want to perform but need some practical support before taking the microphone.

The venue is Coach & Horses on Leicester Road in Markfield, a village location within the wider Leicester events listings. The event is described as monthly, with dates published across 2026 and 2027.

Dates listed from June through next October

The published performance dates begin on Thursday 11 June 2026 and continue monthly through Thursday 14 October 2027.

The listing gives the event span as 11 June to 14 October, with the full sequence of monthly Thursday dates set out above.

What performers can expect from the night

The strongest practical detail in the listing is the support for performers. Musicians and singers are explicitly welcome, and the event notes that backing can be provided or tracks can be found online.

That makes the night relevant not only for regular open mic players, but also for singers who rely on backing tracks and local musicians who want a recurring place to perform. The source does not list age restrictions, running order, set lengths or equipment details, so performers should treat those as points to confirm directly with the venue before planning around them.

For audience members, the listing frames the night as a pub-based performance event rather than a ticketed concert. No admission price is shown in the published details.

Venue, cost and details to check before going

The confirmed venue is Coach & Horses, 196 Leicester Road, Markfield, LE67 9RF. The organiser is also listed as Coach & Horses.

The event listing does not publish a start time, price, booking link, accessibility information or transport guidance. Anyone planning to perform or attend should check with the venue or organiser before relying on the published details, as the listing states that event information supplied through Data Thistle may be subject to change.
