What's on in Highbury Road

Hertfordshire, England

Highbury Road sits quietly in Hertfordshire and doesn't need to shout to have a busy weeknight. The Albert Inn often hosts live music that makes you forget about your mortgage worries for an hour. Bar 85 serves up drinks that keep the conversation going long after the last guest has left. You can find local art shows or community gatherings without needing to hunt through a dozen websites. Near Here keeps track of what's on so you don't spend your Saturday scrolling instead of seeing friends. It's a good way to fill an afternoon when the rain decides to stay in for another week.
