Jazz Picnic

Bring along a picnic and enjoy (or even dance to) the music of the Queen Street Jazz Band. The band play all the favorite Jazz and show standards. There will be vocals, trumpet and trombone all supported by a great piano, bass and drums rhythm section.  Tables and chairs and a bar provided.

The picnic benefits from the protection of the Festival marquee in the Cloister Garden of Dorchester Abbey.  Rest assured you will not get wet in the event of rain and will have a table to sit at.  This event sold out when we last held it in 2005 - so buy your tickets early!
