Welcome to our acoustic nights - last Sunday night of each month!! Bring your favourite instrument and join in. Performed in and around the table, buskers format. All musicians and singers welcome. Very many talented people turn up, and enjoy a lovely atmosphere, like buskers’ evenings of old…..you’re also welcome as spectators, enjoying the music and our bar!
Lovely to see so many happy people enjoying themselves and the ambience of our lovely, dear community-owned pub!
There’s a warm welcome waiting for accordions, banjos, double basses, fiddles, guitars, harmonicas, percussion, ukuleles, and a plethora of other instruments - not to mention plenty of a cappella and other singing. Everyone, from beginners to experienced musicians and singers, is welcome! ……it’s amazing to think that there’s probably been music and singing in our village pub for over 500 years!

IMPORTANT UPDATE - the timings for the mobile library stop in Somersham are changing slightly.
The stop at the Community Shop (16B) will run from 9.30-10.00am and the Willisham stop (16C) will be from 10.10-11.00am as it’s now busier there, more time is required at the Willisham stop.
These new timings will start from THURSDAY 29^th October 2026.
NB: there will be NO Mobile Library for our route run during December 2026. 
:: Somersham has a regular four-weekly Mobile Library visit on a Thursday - stopping in the car park next to the Community Shop. You can reserve books from any other library in Suffolk and then collect them when the mobile visits - and return your books to any branch / mobile library across the county. You may also suggest possible new titles, and make reservations online or library staff can help. It’s free and easy to get a library user card - you can get a card at the Mobile Library! There’s also a HOME LIBRARY service.
TODDLERS AND CHILDREN
This is a great occasion for toddlers and children, lots of books to choose from - and as the Mobile Library is in the village for 30 minutes, they can settle down and have a reading adventure!
