Our Events

A Year-Round Calendar of Entertainment

At The Gardeners Arms, we believe a pub should be more than a place to eat and drink  – it should be somewhere to make memories. This is why we run popular events all year round, attracting locals, newcomers and visitors from across Loughton, Epping, Chigwell, Woodford, Brentwood, Buckhurst Hill and beyond.

Whether you’re joining us for live music, a themed evening, to try your hand at winning £300,000 at poker or simply want to test your general knowledge at a popular quiz night, you’ll always find a warm atmosphere and great company! Book your reservation today using our online form!

Events & Entertainment

Bringing People Together

Bringing people together is at the heart of what we do, and we’re proud to say that some guests journey from as far as Australia to enjoy a Guinness at The Gardeners Arms! Here are some dates for your diary so you don’t miss out on great events with us

Monthly Road Cycling Socials

A favourite with local cyclists, our monthly road cycling meet-ups begin with a 9am start and a well-deserved finish back at the pub. Open to all abilities, it’s a brilliant way to stay active, meet new riders and refuel with delicious food afterwards.

Live Music & Themed Nights

From local performers to themed evenings like Motown and Spanish, our calendar is packed with crowd-pleasers. Here are some upcoming events to add to your diary:

Poker Nights

Feeling lucky? Our Redtooth Poker Nights run every Tuesday at 7.30pm. One of our very own players has already won a trip to Vegas plus £5,000 spending money – and is now in the running for £300,000. Everyone is welcome, whether you’re a seasoned player or trying your first hand.

Quiz Nights

Our popular Quiz Nights are the highlight of the month and are perfect for groups of friends or family, or if you simply want to test your general knowledge! We recommend booking early so that you don’t miss out!

Seasonal Celebrations

We’re proud to be a festive local favourite for many patrons. From Christmas Eve lunches and Boxing Day feasts to our lively New Year’s Eve show (tickets include a complimentary drink and grazing board nibbles), our seasonal events book up quickly.
