New Music Nights

Live music venue

👍👍 There are precious few opportunities for new live music to flourish in Reigate. Without the New Music Festival and the monthly NMN showcase, music will stand still and we will be stuck listening to Cliff Richard for ever like the folk in Dorking. The festival may be in a field a 15 minute stroll a...

The Basement Door

Live music venue

👍👍 With the youthful energy of even the eldest of people that turn up to The Basement Door’s gigs, we’ve always enjoyed playing there as a band. Playing there helped us capture a large devoted audience, one that is very interactive. Kevin has always been great to us, very kind and loving attitude towar...

Outside The Box Comedy Club

Comedy club

👍👍 We enjoy our regular Visits to Outside the Box Comedy. We've been Fortunate to see some Great acts and few Suprise Bookings. I'd recommend getting here for Doors opening as the Seating Layout can be congested and The front row is always left for later arrivals. In Kingston its located in the rear...

👍👍 BLUESCLUB BAND 11/01/2018 People--excited, ebullient, full-of-it, stimulated, expectant--some knowing, some not--what's it going to be like? what's going to be played? who are they? ---squeezing up the steep staircase, waiting for their turn to be ushered through, stamp on hand--mustn't be illegal-...

Hilly Fields Park Bandstand

Live music venue

👍👍 Great afternoon in a fantastic location. This location is perfect for this event with the gentle sloping hill, plenty of shade and room for kids to run around.

HogSozzle Music Festival

Festival

👍👍 First time at Hogsozzle and we really enjoyed it! Didn't go too crazy here as we were reserving ourselves so we were well rested, well fed and well looked after! The sound quality was spot on, the site was small enough to find your way around. Showers available and very tasty food stalls. I think th...
