If you’ve never been to the annual Wymondham Jazz Picnic, give it a go this year. It is always a great evening.

For one night only, the slopes of Becketswell Meadow near the Abbey are turned into one big outdoor amphitheatre. Music lovers assemble with chairs, picnics and a bottle of something cold, to listen to the fun upbeat trad jazz of Dixiemix.

Many a toe will be tapped. And it’s all in aid of local charitable causes. The organisers, the Rotary Club of Wymondham, run a BBQ and other stalls and collect voluntary donations at the entrances (admission is free).

The evening runs from 6pm to 9pm on Saturday 4th July. No need to book. Just show up and enjoy the music and atmosphere.

There really is no more pleasant place to be on a summer’s Saturday evening in Wymondham and many people return year upon year. So get it in your diary today!
