Live music and late nights in the quarter

Strange Quarter guide · Wednesday, 4 November 2026

The music is a good reason to keep coming back. From a live set to an all-night line-up, the quarter gives promoters, performers and their audiences places to meet. Start with what you want to hear.

Choose your club night

Hidden is on Mary Street, while The White Hotel and The Bag Factory are on Dickinson Street. Browse the individual line-ups: each night brings its own people, sounds and start time.

Find a live set

The Yard’s Bent Street programme and The Eagle Inn’s Collier Street gig room are useful places to look for live performances. Follow a familiar artist or take a chance on a name you have yet to hear.

Keep an eye on the pub programme

The DBA and Fairfield Social Club bring events into places you can also use for a social catch-up. Look at the diary before choosing where to meet.
