Blues, Brews & Bampton Talent.
Open Mic Mondays at The Market Tavern
If you’re a music lover, a local performer, or just someone who enjoys a pint with a side of rhythm, you’ll want to mark your calendar for the first Monday of every month.
Welcome to Bampton Blues our open mic night at The Market Tavern, where local singers, guitarists, pianists, and musicians of every style come together for a night of live, spontaneous music and genuine community vibes.
Local Sounds, Laid-Back Atmosphere
Bampton Blues isn’t about big stages or flashing lights. It’s about stripped-back sets, raw talent, and giving local artists a chance to share what they love.
Whether it’s a soulful blues solo, an acoustic cover, or an original tune, our stage is open to all skill levels and genres. Some come to test new material, others to jam with friends and some just to sit back with a pint and soak it all in.
If you’re not performing, you’re still part of it. The pub fills with a warm, friendly crowd, all here to support local talent and enjoy a proper Monday night in the heart of the Cotswolds.
Something Louder? Check Out The Market Stage
If blues and open mic nights are your vibe, you’ll also want to catch The Market Stage our monthly live music night dedicated to rock, indie and pop covers, hosted on the first Thursday of the month.
Recent acts have included everything from Blink 182 and Green Day to Arctic Monkeys and Oasis, played loud and with heart by standout local bands. It’s where the energy goes up and the dancing starts.
Keep an eye on our Instagram or website for upcoming dates and acts.
Pints, Food & a Proper Night Out
On open mic nights, we keep things casual but delicious. Cold beer, great wine, sharing nibbles and our full menu are all available to order. Whether you’re coming solo, with friends, or joining a table of regulars, we promise it’s the best way to spend a Monday in West Oxfordshire.
