We’re Taking a Fallow Year: Support our Future Today
A Fallow Year in 2025
After more than a decade of bringing world-class music to the South West, Bristol Jazz Festival will take a fallow year in 2025. While this comes from the challenges of securing core funding, we’re embracing this moment with hope and excitement for what’s to come. This isn’t a goodbye—it's an opportunity to strengthen our roots and reconnect with the vibrant community that makes Bristol Jazz Festival so special.
To ensure our return to the iconic Tobacco Factory in 2026, we’re calling on you—our incredible community—to help us pave the way. Throughout 2025, we’ll be hosting a series of exciting fundraising events, launching new membership initiatives, and offering unique ways for you to play a vital role in shaping the festival’s future.
Whether you become a member, make a donation, attend a fundraising event, or simply share our story, your support will be the driving force behind the festival’s revival. Together, we can ensure that Bristol Jazz Festival not only returns but comes back stronger, more vibrant, and ready to celebrate our community for years to come.
