Toe-tapping jazz afternoons come to Burghley this weekend

This weekend, visitors to Burghley can enjoy a toe-tapping afternoon with Jazz in the Gardens.

Taking place on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 June, 12pm-4pm each day, spend a summer’s afternoon in Burghley’s Sculpture Garden, soaking up the swinging sounds of local Dixieland jazz band, The Stamford Stompers. Bring the whole family, roll out a blanket, and enjoy the relaxed, joyful atmosphere.

With a lively repertoire of classic New Orleans jazz – featuring banjo, string bass, clarinet, trumpet, and guitar – even the littlest dancers won’t be able to resist a boogie!

Entry is included with a Gardens & Play Day Ticket or Annual Pass. Not got yours yet? Book here.

To make your afternoon extra special, unwind to the sounds of live jazz with a delicious Pimm’s Picnic Box. Each box includes a trio of mini rolls, sausage roll, cheese twist, Caesar salad pot, crisps, chocolate brownie, bottled water, and a can of Pimm’s with fresh lemon, strawberry, orange, and mint. Find out how to order your box here.

While you’re there this weekend, enjoy a full day out exploring Burghley.

June is blooming in the Gardens, wander through to discover the glorious summer. Let little ones adventure in the Hide & Secrets woodland, and step inside the House to discover 500 years of history.

The Gardens and Adventure Play are open 10am to 5pm. The House is open 10.30am to 4.30pm. For tickets visit https://burghley.co.uk/plan-your-visit/ticket-prices
