The Isle of Wight’s annual jazz festival brings the best of the UK jazz scene to the Island for four incredible days of music. Now in its 12th year, the event is staged at venues in and around Newport.

It is a popular event with jazz fans and visitors from the mainland, and tickets do sell out. The events organised by volunteers are friendly and informal. The event has hosted the BBC Big Band, Stacey Kent and Liane Carroll, Ian Shaw and many more top musicians in previous years. The best of the Island’s vibrant jazz scene will also be entertaining audiences.
