Top outdoor sounds return to the city for summer
One of the highlights of the summer, Jazz and Brass in the Parks returns to Cambridge’s green spaces with a series of six free concerts, which for the first time includes a performance at Nightingale Recreation Ground. Styles range from hot New Orleans-style jazz at Jesus Green to rousing, traditional brass band favourites at Cherry Hinton Hall – and all you need to do is pack yourself a picnic, grab a blanket, turn up and enjoy.
Dates and venues: Waterbeach Brass at Cherry Hinton Hall on 4 June, Malcom Talbot’s Big Brass Band at Jesus Green on 11 June, Cottenham Brass Band at Cherry Hinton Hall on 16 July, Freddie & Friends New Orleans Jazzmen at Jesus Green on 13 August, City of Cambridge Brass Band at Nightingale Recreation Ground on 27 August, and The Brass Funkeys at Jesus Green on 17 September.
