Jazz And Blues Festival

Back by popular demand, for the sixth year running, the Burton Agnes Jazz and Blues Festival will be showcasing a magnitude of musical talent over the weekend.

As always, bands overflow from the outdoor main stage into the Great Hall, the shops and cafe courtyard, and the late night sessions in the bar tent. Delicious food is prepared by the catering team, ranging from homemade burgers to spicy curries, ice creams from the vintage ice cream van, and bakes and cupcakes in the tea tent. Local, award winning world top beers will be on tap, brewed just a few miles away and delivered by brewer and jazz fan Tom Mellor, who then picks up his guitar to play in the Hall.

There is camping in the beautiful surroundings of the adjacent Park Field, with hot showers laid on. The child in all of us is taken care of by balloon artistry and face painting, and highlights of Burton Agnes' grounds include a maze, giant games, jungle garden and woodland walk with forest creatures to find.
