Founded in 1992, Marsden Jazz Festival transforms the small village into a jazz destination for a weekend, with performances spilling out of pubs, parks and historic venues, and a mix of traditional, big band and modern jazz. Most events are free, with ticketed headliners at venues such as Marsden Mechanics.
Nestled in the hills above Huddersfield, the festival is celebrated for its strong community spirit and its blend of grassroots and headline programming.
