Events Detail Page

New Orleans comes to Cornwall as Bude hosts one of Britain's leading annual jazz festivals, packing 200 jazz events into eight days.

The annual event features not only a packed programme of traditional jazz and swing workshops, but also New Orleans-style street parades. The line-up is truly international and many acts return year after year to play.

There are nearly 20 different indoor venues, most within easy walking distance of each other. All are linked by continuous bus services, free of charge to festival ticket-holders. The venues include pubs, hotels, small halls and restaurants - comfortable and informal surroundings that help to create a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
