The full line up for this year's Chipping Sodbury Jazz Festival has been announced.

Will you be attending the Chipping Sodbury Jazz Festival?

Headlining the event on the first night of the festival will be the legendary Kenny Ball who will be appearing in concert at Chipping Sodbury Town Hall with his Jazzmen. The Festival also features some of the best musicians from the Bristol and Bath area who will be playing at a number of local venues.

The festival will provide some much needed fun particularly at a time when everyone is struggling to make ends meet. The quality of the bands playing is such that I'm sure many people across the South West will want to visit Chipping Sodbury to enjoy both the music and the local hospitality.

All of the local pubs in the Town's main thoroughfare are hosting and there will be no admission charge other than for the headline act on the 29th. In addition, there will also be an Artisan Market on Saturday 30th during the day and live jazz in the street, so plenty for everyone.

Tickets for Kenny Ball and His Jazzmen cost £18.50 and can be obtained from Chipping Sodbury Tourist Information Centre, Penny Farthings Gift Shop, Vickers Stationery, or by email to info@visitchippingsodbury.com
