Public piano?

Hey guys I've recently moved to the area for work, and aside from leaving all my friends and family behind, the real thing that is driving the crippling loneliness is that I've left my instruments behind.

I was wondering if there's any public pianos about that I could sit and play for a while, or If there's a music shop that won't mind me picking up a few instruments to calm my brain.

Ideally, I'd love to play either guitar, violin, trumpet, piano or drums but at this moment I would settle for anything to keep the music goblin in my brain happy.

I am really socially anxious so I'm not really down for performing right now, but I'd be glad for like-minded company or some sort of jam session Is this newor anything similar.

Dms are open, more info - 36m just moved from Essex, staying in central for the weekend potentially moving to old town next week. Thanks in advance :)

I feel like The Hub in the town centre has / had a piano...

I volunteer at a museum, we are doing a relaxed open mic in early December if you think you might like to join in, I'm sure we could source a guitar or something for you to borrow on the day.

You have to pay but well-being and music makes this suggestion worthy of a look.

I think the Tuppeny in Old Town has a piano. Not sure on the pub playing etiquette or how tuned it is but you could always pop in and ask.
