Black Swan Folk Club

A proper folk club where live music happens most nights, tucked away on Peasholme Green with real character and zero pretension.

You'll find yourself down a narrow street in the city centre, pushing through a door that feels like stepping into someone's living room crossed with a proper pub. The Black Swan isn't trying to be anything other than what it is: a venue where folk musicians come to play and people come to listen—really listen. The crowd's a mix of serious enthusiasts, curious locals, and the odd tourist who's stumbled upon something genuinely good. There's beer, there's often food, and there's always someone tuning a guitar or fiddle.
