About The Vaults Bar

The Vaults Bar is the characterful bar of The Bull Hotel, a former coaching inn on Watling Street at 64 High Street, Stony Stratford (MK11 1AQ), in the Milton Keynes area. It keeps four well-regarded cask beers and is best known for its live music: a free Sunday acoustic session from 12:30pm that is now in its 45th year and claims to be the longest continually running music session in England, mixing English, Irish, French and American tunes and songs. The venue also hosts 'Vaultage' open-mic sessions and regular live music through the week. A house PA is provided and both originals and covers are welcome.
