Jazz in the Gardens
Enjoy a toe-tapping afternoon of jazz in Burghley's beautiful gardens
Spend a summer's afternoon in Burghley's Sculpture Garden listening to the swinging sounds of local Dixieland jazz group, the Stamford Stompers. Bring the whole family along, roll out a blanket and soak up the sublime atmosphere. With a soundtrack that will have everyone bopping along - even the littlest of dancers won't be able to resist joining in! Listen to the Stompers as they perform a wonderfully wide repertoire of classic New Orleans jazz with instruments that include a banjo, string bass, clarinet, trumpet, and guitar.
During your visit take in the beauty of the Gardens in full summer bloom or let the little ones run wild in Hide & Secrets Adventure Play. The Gardens and Adventure Play are open from 10am to 5pm with the Stamford Stompers performing from 12 noon to 4pm.
Garden Bar
If you fancy a glass or two of fizz, a cooling soft drink or a barista coffee whilst you enjoy the music, our pop-up Garden Bar has you covered.
A range of delicious cakes and brownies will also be available, along with tubs of irresistible strawberries and cream.
Open from 11am to 4pm next to the Jazz Stand in the Sculpture Garden.
Jazz Afternoon Tea Picnic Box
Treat yourselves to a Jazz Afternoon Tea Picnic Box to enjoy whilst you relax in the Gardens. Each box includes a selection of sandwiches, fruit scone with jam and clotted cream and a voucher for a barista coffee or Artisan tea from the Garden Bar.
Afternoon Tea Picnic Boxes are available to pre-order (£9.50 per person) or purchase on the day (£11.50 per person).
