Opening in 2017, the award winning Strings Bar & Venue is a 300 capacity live music and performing arts venue situated in Newport, at the heart of the Isle of Wight, an iconic geographical location within popular music history. 

Founded and run by musicians for music lovers, Strings has established itself as the Island's premier live venue, hosting a wide variety of bands, DJ's and comedians. 

As well as programming a wealth of our own live shows, we love working with outside promoters and anyone who is as passionate about live music as we are. 

With a modern trendy decor, extensive bar menu and a great atmosphere, Strings really is the place to be for any music fan.

Here at Strings, we are passionate about supporting local music and education.

We work very closely with Platform One College Of Music, providing a fantastic space for seminars, classes, workshops and live events.
