Two of the great highlights of the West Sussex summer calendar, Loxwood Joust and Loxwood’s Jazz, Gin and Blues Festival are both in the same location – and yet you couldn’t wish for a greater contrast.
The joust will be on August 5, 6, 12 and 13, promising the fiercest fun in the land at the UK’s most spectacular and immersive medieval and jousting festival. The week before, in the woodlands nearby, the gin and blues festival promises a lazy afternoon of fine food, fine drinks and fine music (Sunday, July 30 from 12 noon to 8pm).
Linking the two, of course, is the venue – Loxwood Meadow for the Joust; the Enchanted Woodland for the Jazz, Gin and Blues Festival. Organiser of both is Maurice Bacon.
