Here's a lovely sunny picture of Rod Mason leading Marsden Swing on Peel Street yesterday posted to say a huge thank you to everyone who came out for the festival over the weekend. We hope you had really amazing time whether you were performing, volunteering, putting on a gig, opening your business, enjoying the music...or any of the above in any possible combination. It's a really special weekend and we all have a part to play in making it a success. 35yrs coming up in 2026! Maybe the sun will shine again???

Têtes de Pois are playing Marsden Mechanics Hall at 10pm Saturday night Forged in the fires of Leeds’ late-night DIY scene, Têtes de Pois are a seven piece cinematic jazz outfit whose music, originally intended to heat up local dancefloors, has matured to become something more reflective and spiritual.
If you enjoyed the mightly Plantfood as last year’s festival, this is the one for you!

The Ramsdens Peel Street Stage...Road Closure heads up

The giant white object that just appeared in front of Marsden Mechanics can only mean the return of the Marsden Jazz Festival Peel Street stage. We are really excited to bring this audience favourite back to the festival. The free stage will be presenting live music on Saturday and Sunday. You can see the line up in the festival programme and online. Check the photo below.

A couple of things to note...

Road Closures
The top end of Peel Street (between the Mechanics and Manchester Road) will be pedestrianised and closed to traffic between 11am-5pm on Saturday 11 Oct and 12 - 2pm on Sunday 12 Oct.

The bus stops will be closed. As in the announcement pictured, local buses will terminate at Fall Lane

Huge thanks for both Ramsdens Solicitors LLP and One Community Foundation for supporting our free outdoor programme this year, and to all of the musicians playing on the stage over the weekend.

Please come out, enjoy yourself and support local businesses, organisations, artists and our wonderful community. Let's make MJF no.33 a great success for Marsden!

PS. The weather looks decent...
