Details

Come and enjoy two hours of live jazz on a Sunday morning. It's free to come in, and the cafe bar is open for coffee, cake and something stronger if the mood takes you.

Two bands share the slot and alternate each week. They rehearse here, and you are welcome to sit in the cafe and listen while they do it. This means it is not a polished set from start to finish but it's still a great listen in a gallery setting with a cafe bar for refreshments and a garden to grab some fresh air - if the weather complies :)

How to do it properly

Arrive when ever you like, get a drink and a snack, take a table, and stay as long as you like. Nobody is going to mind if you arrive after they have started or leave before they finish. We just ask that you respect their rehearsal and keep the noise down. Bring the papers. Bring a friend you have been meaning to catch up with. Bring somebody who says they don't like jazz and see how they get on.

When the weather is good, the terrace and the garden are open and the music carries out, so you can sit outside in the sun and still hear every note.

Free to come in

There is no ticket and no charge on the door. Just buy your drinks and snacks from the cafe bar as normal, which is what keeps the whole thing running.
