The Railway Inn

The Railway Inn in Winchester, Hampshire is a blend of traditional bar and a music venue/arts centre. Equipped with a top spec PA and lighting rig, ‘The Barn’ is their underground venue – the perfect environment to experience live music of any genre, while the upstairs venue, ‘The Attic’ has been specifically designed for acoustic acts and comedy.

Roots Open Mic Night has been running there for over 20 years, making it Winchester’s longest running open mic.

It’s been an early exploration space for a number of notable careers, including Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, Laura Marling and Frank Turner.

The venue has dedicated itself to live music since the late 1970’s and they also regularly showcase local, national and international acts, covering the full gamut of responsibility in terms of supporting all sectors of music.
