Live at The Anchor

New bands, singer-songwriters and tribute acts

Live at The Anchor is our monthly live music programme showcasing local and touring musicians in an intimate pub setting. From acoustic singer-songwriters to full bands, every gig is free entry with a brilliant atmosphere. We have been building this programme to give Stanwell Moor, Staines and the wider Heathrow area a proper live music pub where the sound is great, the beer is cold, and you are close enough to the stage to make eye contact with the guitarist.

Expect a rotating mix of acoustic sets, cover bands, tribute acts and local performers. The programme changes through the year, so check the gig list below for the latest confirmed dates.

Bands and Acoustic Nights

Our live music nights bring local performers into a proper pub room where the crowd is close, the sound is warm and the atmosphere feels personal. Some nights are stripped-back acoustic sets, others are full-band evenings with familiar covers and a dancefloor feel.

What we book

We book acoustic soloists, duos, bands and tribute acts that fit a village pub crowd. Covers, classics, soul, funk, rock and upbeat singalong sets all work well here.

What to expect

The room is intimate, the gigs are free entry, and tables are available to book if you want a guaranteed seat. Most live music nights start around 8:30pm.

For the audience

Grab a table, order some food, and enjoy the show. No cover charge, ever.

We are just eight minutes from Staines-upon-Thames centre, tucked away in Stanwell Moor village, with a dedicated performance area, quality acoustics and room for around 100 people to enjoy the show.

If you have been searching for live music near Staines or live music pubs near Heathrow, you have found the right place. We bring in acts from across Surrey, West London and beyond, everything from acoustic solo artists to four-piece bands playing classic rock, soul, funk and pop covers.
