Join us in keeping the spirit
of jazz alive in East Grinstead!
Jenny is incredibly grateful to the town for coming together to fill the streets with music and to support local businesses. To ensure that the Jazz Festival continues to flourish, we are seeking sponsors. As a sponsor, your business will be featured in our festival programme, highlighted on our social media channels, and mentioned on the radio.
