Marsden Jazz Festival

Time of year: Second weekend of October

Lead contact: Richard Whitelaw


Key information

Marsden Jazz Festival takes place annually in early October. It’s the largest annual event in Marsden and is one of the longest running jazz festivals in the UK.

The jazz festival weekend offers something for everybody, with a range of ticketed and free events for all ages in venues across the whole village and beyond. The headline acts at Marsden Mechanics are jazz (or pretty close to) but a broad range of genres are also included in the wider programme.

You don’t need to love jazz to love Marsden Jazz Festival, but if you do, well, you are in luck!
