The Wigan International Jazz Festival has been showcasing the very best in jazz talent - to say nothing of introducing new talent - for over 23 years. From humble beginnings, the Festival has grown and developed into one of the very best jazz events on the international calendar.

 

Knock-out performances by the superstars of jazz, coupled with our unique blend of lunchtime performances, fringe festival events (many of which are free), and the chance to talk to many of the performers within our mentoring programme, have made the Wigan International Jazz Festival famous throughout the UK, USA, and many other parts of the world.
