Together, We Keep Live Music Alive

Everyone who steps through our doors plays a part in making Real Time Live what it is. This venue has always been built on passion, for music, for performance, and for the community that gathers to experience it.

Independent live music venues across the UK are facing real challenges, and we’re no different. The support of our audience, artists, and local community is what keeps us moving forward. If you’re able to support us, whether that’s by coming to gigs, spreading the word, or making a contribution, it makes a genuine difference and helps sustain a space where live music can thrive.

Introducing Real Time Passes

Supporting live music and getting more from the shows you love just got easier. Real Time Passes are our new membership-style credits system designed for regular gig-goers, music lovers, and anyone who wants to experience more live music while saving a bit along the way.

Whether you’re here every other weekend or looking for a gift that actually means something, Real Time Passes give you tickets in advance (we call them credits) that you can use throughout the year.
1 credit = entry to 1 show.
Passes are valid for 12 months, and you can use credits however you like — all at once, or spread out over the year.
