Swanage Jazz Festival

last updated: Mon 21st Aug 2017

In 2017 it was announced that the 2017 festival would be the last.

Swanage Jazz Festival offers a weekend of top class jazz with a relaxed seaside setting. The Jazz festival is run on a non-profit-making basis by a group of fans, who continue to promote the event started in 1989 for the love of the music and enjoy the experience.

The festival has grown from a small and rather shaky start to the present size, selling a thousand tickets for each of the three days. The festival holds numerous events in venues on the seafront of the small seaside town at the beginning of the Jurassic Coast.
