As the Christmas season once again approaches, the Rye International Jazz & Blues Festival are delighted to announce a very special series of stunning, intimate, world class concerts in the beautiful setting of St Mary’s Church in Rye on 14th to 16th of December. Spread the joy this season and treat yourself, your other half or get a group of friends together and enjoy an early Christmas treat!

For the first time in our seven years we extended the festival into September and moved location down the Sussex coastline to the iconic De La Warr Pavilion in Bex Hill-on-Sea. We were delighted to present two concert hall artists; Corinne Bailey Rae and Dionne Warwick.
