Celebrate the Festive Season
with The Jazz Centre UK
Looking for a fun, family activity this winter?
The Jazz Centre UK is a vibrant cultural hub dedicated to the genre of jazz, celebrating this music in all its forms, including dance, film, literature, and every corner of culture it has influenced.
Our museum and live music venue is open from Wednesday to Sunday each week. Combined with a visit to the Beecroft Art Gallery situated upstairs, it promises a fantastic afternoon out for the family.
Starting Sunday, 7th December, and running through the New Year, we have a variety of winter activities designed to entertain and engage you. Escape the cold, immerse yourself in culture, and discover the UK's contributions to jazz.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Colouring-in Station!
Free admission
Need to escape the town centre and chill for a bit? We have set up a colouring in station, with favourite characters such as the Snowman and Snowdog, princes and princesses, christmas characters and some fun jazz instruments to colour in.
Sit down at our table, warm up from the cold and colour to your heart's content. There is also the opportunity to pin your drawing up on our show board when you are finished! All ages welcome.
Festive Jazz and Blues Tour Through Time
Free admission
Our volunteers have curated a delightful addition to our Walk-Through History of Jazz Exhibition. This new feature showcases their favorite jazz, blues, and festive tunes that align with the historical periods covered in the tour.
As you navigate the exhibition, you can discover fascinating new insights about the highlighted tracks and albums. You can also scan a QR code to enjoy the music on Spotify at your own leisure.
A fantastic festive treat for jazz and blues enthusiasts, or some great recommendations for those new to the genre.
