A popular jazz festival, now in its 10th year, will be bringing the streets of Tunbridge Wells alive with music this summer, kicking off this week.

Jazz on the Pantiles, which runs in the historic heart of Tunbridge Wells from Thursday, May 4 to Thursday, September 28, is this year sponsored by the local office of investment management firm Brooks Macdonald.

The firm has also recently sponsored the Chiddingstone Castle Literary Festival as well as Junior Bromleians Football Club and Speldhurst Juniors Cricket Club.

Over the last 10 years, Jazz on The Pantiles has grown to become a hugely popular weekly music event featuring some of the best jazz bands in the area every Thursday night during the summer, drawing up to 3,000 fans each week.

Pam Beith, from Brooks Macdonald, said: "These music evenings have become a magnet for jazz lovers and present many benefits for The Pantiles, and for Tunbridge Wells as a whole, attracting locals and drawing visitors into the town.

"The Jazz has a great reputation and with its growing success it is known to provide a fun evening out for everyone. It brings together the cross section of ages that makes this town so unique and special and provide a great sense of community."
