These are pre-booked ticketed events taking place on the first (Newark) and second (Harborough) Fridays of every month. These take place in our main jazz areas (see our seating plans) and are typically four or five piece bands. Headed up by our house band P.R.S. with various headliners from around the UK, tickets are limited in number and only ticket holders are permitted to watch the jazz on these nights. Tickets, when available, can be purchased on the door at £12.
Doors open at 7:00pm and jazz from 8-10pm
HOW IT WORKS…
Friday nights at our Newark store (except 1st of the month) sees various duos and trios, providing live jazz, blues, funk and more, creating a slightly more laid back vibe. See our house band P.R.S. performing their own, edgy versions of jazz and blues, as well as other local outfits including Elliot Lewis, Fiona Stein and more. These take place in our cocktail lounge along Boar Lane and are free entry. Our Friday Night Cocktails & Jazz offers a full cocktail menu, beers, wines and bubbly, plus a tasty but tidy Tapas menu for you to nibble while you enjoy the live music.
Doors open at 6:30pm and jazz from 8:00pm-11:00pm
HOW IT WORKS
From March 5th, Sundays at Newark include a ‘live’ element.
Accompanying our usual daytime menu, our cocktail bar will be open and we’ll have a whole host of artists playing jazz, blues, funk and more, every Sunday from 12:30 til around 3:30pm.
We definitely recommend booking a table if you wish to dine with us.

P.R.S. is Simon Potts (drums), Steve Rodda (guitar) and Stray’s own Mat Short (bass). Mat & Steve originally played on Sundays at the Newark store as part of a guitar trio. Mat met Si as part of playing with the superb Groove Merchants, led by our good friend departed, guitarist Chris Green.
Si Potts joined Mat & Steve for a date back in 2017 and the three of them haven’t looked back!
P.R.S. gig every Friday at Stray’s, supporting the headline acts at each venue, but you can see them as a trio at various venues across the Midlands, including regular slots at The Pelican in Nottingham, The Bees Knees in Laneham and with various artists at the Mason’s Arms in Louth, to name a few.
