INN CROWD

LIVE PERFORMANCES IN PUBS

What is INN CROWD?

INN CROWD is a unique arts project, devised by partners Applause Rural Touring, Creative Arts East and National Centre for Writing with support from Pub is the Hub. INN CROWD works with some of the UK’s top spoken word and live literature artists and performers to provide rural pubs with professional, high-quality and exciting live entertainment.

This helps publicans to attract new customers, widen the experience for their regulars, and reinforces the pub as a central, vibrant part of community life.

Want to be in with the INN CROWD?

INN CROWD helps pubs and licenced venues host exciting and inspiring spoken word, poetry and storytelling performances to entertain their regulars and bring in a whole new audience of customers, all with a low financial risk. If your venue is in Nottinghamshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Staffordshire, or Lincolnshire, contact us to see how you can get involved.

How does it work?

As an INN CROWD pub or licensed venue, you can choose an act from a menu of exciting performers at highly subsidised rates. As an INN CROWD Partner, we at Live & Local provide you with posters, flyers and social media templates to help you market your event with ease.
