Guildford Jazz & Soul Festival

About this event

Following the success of last year’s debut, which welcomed over 2,500 people to 18 events across 16 venues, the Guildford Jazz & Soul Festival returns in 2025 for its second edition.

Spanning six weeks and 12 venues in and around Guildford town centre, the festival brings together an exciting programme of live jazz and soul performances. From the historic setting of Guildford Castle to the buzz of local cafés, bars, and the Guildford Pavilion, it’s a celebration of music woven right into the fabric of the town.

More than just music, the festival is about community, supporting local venues, introducing new audiences to the joy of live performance, and building on last year’s incredible achievement of raising nearly £40,000 for charity.

With its mix of heritage, atmosphere, and outstanding live acts, the Guildford Jazz & Soul Festival promises a season of unforgettable performances for music lovers of all kinds.
