The 31st Upton Upon Severn International Jazz Festival happens from Thursday 23rd until Sunday 26th June 2016. The festival offers a blend of a range of jazz styles and a dash of mainstream/modern and swing with traditional jazz and Dixieland foundations.

The festival held beneath the Malvern Hills offers three days of jazz, fun and good company beside the River Severn in Worcestershire.
