Live Music Venues In Ilminster

Ilminster in Somerset has pubs as the focus of its live music scene but it also has the Meeting House as a venue mostly for classical, folk and jazz music as well as Dillington House just a couple of miles away.

Unfortunately there appears to be a lack of regular live music venues in Ilminster; Chard just 5 miles away appears to do better for musical entertainment.

The Warehouse Theatre on Brewery Lane also acts as a performance venue for classical musicians from time to time.


THE CROWN INN (01460 52782) on the West Street has occasional live music and karaoke. Expect local tribute acts and cover bands when the music is on.

Crown Inn, Ilminster

THE DOLPHIN (01460 57904) is on Silver Street next to the church. Like the Crown Inn it has occasional music although nothing regular as far as we know.

Dolphin Inn, Ilminster

THE MEETING HOUSE (01460 57783) is a converted Unitarian church on East Street and hosts regular recitals from classical, jazz and folk performers as well as arts based workshops by day and night. They have a cafe and host regular art exhibitions.

Meeting House, Ilminster
