LOVE SUPREME JAZZ FESTIVAL 2025
The Love Supreme Jazz Festival is a three-day outdoor jazz event that takes place the first weekend in July in the breathtaking Glynde Place setting of East Sussex's South Downs.
It is the first camping jazz festival in the UK to last the entire weekend, but day-trippers and non-campers are also welcome. The festival can be reached by train or car around 20 minutes from Brighton and about 1.5 hours from central London.
