Jazz Social: Latin on the Lawn (£17)

16th July £2.00 - £65.00

THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT – EXISTING TICKET HOLDERS MAY STILL ORDER EXTRA DRINKS IF REQUIRED!

We’ve got some great news for jazz fans. The Jazz Social is back for a special summer afternoon edition on the Northwood House Tea Garden Lawn on Sunday 16th July.

Following on from all our previous sell-out  evening events, we’ll be moving outside and tipping our sun hats to high summer to bring you a super cool afternoon of Latin-inspired jazz on the lawn. Not only that, but guest will enjoy a welcome drink on arrival followed by a clotted cream tea with home-made scones, jam and fresh brewed tea to enjoy during the music.

The Jazz Social: “Latin on the Lawn” is brought to you by the Island’s Jazz supremo Jim Thorn and special guests, providing the afternoon with a relaxed musical ambience.  So bring good friends, grab a table and enjoy a laid-back sociable Sunday of great music and great company in equal measure.

With only four Jazz Social events through the year, this special summer edition will be sure to sell out quickly,  so book early to avoid disappointment!

The vibe is informal and relaxed with tables, chairs and umbrellas on the lawn for seating and eating while Jim and his guests provide the perfect summer jazz vibe.  But don’t worry if the weather is inclement…we will switch the entertainment to the Northwood House Ballroom if there’s any rain in the forecast, so the Jazz will definitely go on!

Talented guests joining Jim Thorn on this special Jazz Social are:

Loren Thorn (Vocals)
