WHAT’s ON
ABOUT WINCHESTER JAZZ FESTIVAL
Winchester Jazz Festival 2024 will take place from 19th-22nd September in venues across the city centre. Audiences will enjoy four days of top quality entertainment from the jazz world; by bringing the jazz festival to this beautiful and historic city we create a platform to nurture local talent, expose a wider local audience to world-class jazz music and show the rest of the UK what Winchester has to offer as a destination for the arts. We are working in partnership with the city’s key arts venues as well as alongside our valued independent pubs, bars and cafés in order to offer a diverse program of ticketed and free events, balancing maximum engagement with high quality performances.
