VENUES
The Sun Inn, Hardingstone
Most of the jazz nights take place at The Sun Inn, a beloved gastro pub nestled in the suburban village of Hardingstone. Established in 1850, it embodies the essence of a classic English pub, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere for locals and visitors alike.
​
The Barn, which adjoins the pub, offers a private and cosy setting for the jazz nights. It features its own private bar and toilets - separate from the main pub, ensuring an exclusive and comfortable atmosphere for guests to enjoy live jazz.
​
Shipmans, Northampton
​​
Shipmans is one of Northampton’s oldest pubs. A public house has stood on this site since the early-to-mid 1700s! Over the centuries, the pub has gone through various transformations, including name changes, and today it’s well known locally for its signature cocktails.
​
With its cosy atmosphere, Shipmans offers an ideal setting for intimate solo and duo jazz performances.
​
Thanks to Shipmans, we’re bringing live jazz music right into the heart of Northampton. So why not come along, enjoy the music, and sip on a classic Shipmans cocktail?​
The Lamplighter, Northampton
​​
The Lamplighter is the latest venue to welcome Flamingo Jazz Nights. The venue is a warm, traditional corner pub dating back to 1871, formerly known as The Overstone Arms. It has been a family-run, independent free house since 2009 and is well known for its quality real ales, farmhouse ciders, and craft beers.
​
The jazz nights take place upstairs in the Drawing Room, a cosy and intimate space, similar in feel to The Sun Inn and Shipmans.
​
The Drawing Room is also big enough to host quartet and quintet bands, making it a great addition to the current venue roster.
