Hot Grassroots Venues 2016

Find out 2016's most popular venues being looked at by Ents24 users.

With over 22,500 venues with live events on Ents24, we pride ourselves on making sure that our 2 million monthly users are getting the most accurate gig listings on the web.

As a founding member of the Music Venues Alliance, we work hard to support venues across the UK and to help people know what’s happening in their local live music scene.

Grassroots Music Venues can be split into Small (capacity of less than 350), Medium (351-650) and Large (651+) venues. We’ve taken that same model so that we can let you know who the most popular Grassroots Music Venues are on Ents24, determined by our users, for 2016.

Whether your favourite venue has made the list or not, what's most important is getting out to your local venue and supporting the talent on show! #KeepMusicLive
