Celebrating 50 years of Iron Maiden first ever show here in 1976…
What better way to get in the mood for Maiden’s massive Eddfest at Knebworth than by partying at the birthplace of it all, whilst raising money for Heavy Metal Truants.
Cart & Horses hosted Maiden’s very first gig on 9th June 1976 and on 9th June 2026, we’re celebrating 50 years later.
50 (Not) Wasted Years at Cart & Horses is a night for the fans:
A special sing-along screening of the iconic Live After Death (not seated, we’re here to ROCK)
Step into the Powerslave era and experience Maiden like before, surrounded by Maiden Fans, where it all started.
And More madness awaits:
- Iron Maiden Pub Quiz from 7pm
- RrroooaaarrR Metal / Rock Karaoke - Maiden Special!
Get on stage and follow in their footsteps
- Prize giveaways + Raffle:
Stay tuned, we have some very special prizes for you to win and take home:
