THE ANNUAL FESTIVAL WILL NO LONGER BE HELD DUE TO THE LOSS OF THE UNIQUE VENUE
THE PERSHORE COLLEGE HAD FOR MANY YEARS BEEN AN IDEAL PLACE TO HOLD THE FESTIVAL AND WE HAVE HAD VERY SUCCESSFUL YEARS PROVIDING JAZZ OF DIFFERENT GENRES TO A VERY APPRECIATE AUDIENCE
IN FACT 'THE SMALL FESTIVAL WITH A BIG HEART' WAS ALMOST A FAMILY EVENT EACH YEAR
IT WILL BE SADLY MISSED BY ALL

PERSHORE JAZZ COMMITTEE ORGANISED FOR FIVE YEARS AN ALL DAY JAZZ EVENT "PERSHORE JAZZ ON A SUMMER'S DAY"
UNFORTUNATELY THIS WILL NOT BE HELD IN 2026

THE JAZZ CLUB CONTINUES TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND WE THANK OUR LOYAL ATTENDEES FOR THEIR SUPPORT

HISTORY
From small beginnings as a free festival held in the town Pershore Jazz grew in popularity & established itself as a small stroller festival held in the lovely surroundings of the Pershore College in August every year. Known as “the little festival with a big heart” it became a respected part of the British Jazz Scene presenting the very best in jazz

After 18 highly successful years & the covid cancellations our unique venue was no longer available for our use.
In its place we have for 5 years organised an all-day special jazz event - PERSHORE JAZZ ON A SUMMER'S DAY
Unfortunately this jazz day will not be held in 2026

JAZZ CLUB - MONTHLY SESSIONS
The success of the festival encouraged regular jazz concerts so a monthly jazz club was started in June 2006 which has flourished into a highly successful and well attended evening – see club page for more information.

Pershore Jazz History

After several years of holding a festival in the town of Pershore we were fortunate to locate to the lovely surroundings of the Pershore Horticultural College where for many years we continued and enjoyed our annual jazz festival weekends. The Covid 19 pandemic meant sadly the festival was cancelled for two years and then unfortunately we learned that the facility would no longer be available for hire. With deep regret the annual weekend festival ceased to be held. After 18 very successful years and looking to pastures new and we were pleased to organise an all-day jazz event which was held in August at Number 8 Arts Centre, 8 High Street, Pershore WR10 1BG. The first year we dedicated PERSHORE JAZZ ON A SUMMER’S DAY to the late great Keith Nichols who sadly passed away during covid times. Keith was such a big part of the festival and is so sadly missed. PERSHORE JAZZ ON A SUMMER’S DAY has run successfully for 5 years but regretfully will not be held in 2026

Pershore Jazz Club was founded in June 2006. Whilst the Club was initially more traditional, it has now developed its reputation to be a club offering all genres of jazz and we are pleased to say it is well supported in its current location at the function room of Pershore Town Football Club

We are a not-for-profit organisation run by a small unpaid committee dedicated to the cause of quality jazz for all to enjoy.
