The Upton: Where Live Music Meets the Heart of English Pub Culture
There’s something magical about live music in a pub. It’s the hum of a guitar, the soulful notes of a piano, or the foot-tapping rhythm of a folk band that transforms a good evening into a great one. At The Upton, we cherish this tradition, weaving live music into the very fabric of our pub’s identity. Whether it’s a lively Friday night band, a chilled-out Sunday piano session, or a cozy Monday folk gathering, live music is the heartbeat of our pub.
Fridays: A Band Night Extravaganza
When Friday night rolls around, The Upton comes alive with the vibrant energy of live band performances.

It’s not just about the music; it’s about the connection. Strangers become friends, and regulars find themselves swaying to the rhythm, united by the shared joy of live performance.
