Music.
Our ‘Music as Medicine’ programme brings gigs to Open House every fortnight, with live music and dancing downstairs or more intimate performances upstairs.
We also run weekly music-making sessions - including ukelele groups, drum circles, songwriting and open mic nights.
Upcoming Events.

Join us for another celebration of the Hope Valley music scene. Mark Bradshaw’s songs are rooted in the Dark Peak’s moors, edges and woods, influenced by Southern African music and musicians, played on guitar, mbira and violin. The songs of The Sette of Odde Volumes invite you into a world of tall tales and curious characters, evoking the beauty in the small things and the fantastical in the everyday.
From 7pm on Saturday 19 September
