A West Sussex music festival has introduced discounted family tickets for its return this November, giving families the chance to enjoy headline performances alongside free live music, dancing and workshops across Midhurst.<\/p>\r\n

Under-12s can attend free, while tickets for 12\u201317-year-olds cost \u00a310 per event at the Midhurst Jazz, Food & Blues Festival<\/a>, which runs from Thursday 19th to Sunday 22nd November 2026.<\/p>\r\n

All children must be accompanied by an adult, with a maximum of two child tickets available per adult ticket. The offer is available to book now, with a limited allocation of children\u2019s tickets for each event.<\/p>\r\n

Free Fringe events will also take place in caf\u00e9s, pubs and community venues, with the main daytime programme running over the weekend. Visitors can combine a concert with free activities or explore the Fringe with family and friends.<\/p>\r\n

Festival Director Adam Page said: \u201cSeeing musicians perform up close can be a brilliant introduction to live music, especially for children who are learning an instrument or starting to discover what they enjoy listening to. We want more families to have that opportunity and these ticket prices will help make coming along more affordable.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cThe Fringe gives people plenty to build a day around, too. You could try some swing dancing, listen to a singer over lunch or meet friends for the Sunday Tea Party.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cWe\u2019d love people to come with their children, parents or friends and enjoy discovering something together. Having performances in local caf\u00e9s and other familiar venues makes it easy to get involved, even if you\u2019ve never been to a jazz festival before.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

At The Old Library, the Portsmouth Lindy Hoppers will lead swing dance demonstrations on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd November, with visitors invited to have a go. On Saturday, festival musical director Vince Dunn will also host a free drum clinic at The Wheatsheaf for beginners and experienced players.<\/p>\r\n

The Festival Live Showcase will bring a rolling programme of free performances to the Festival Bar at Midhurst Rother College from 11 am to 8 pm on both days. Visitors can meet here between events, with food from Eat The Street and beer from Langham Brewery & Tap available to buy.<\/p>\r\n

Among the performers on Sunday 22nd November is 12-year-old singer Rivka Yugin-Powers, who will make her Midhurst debut with a set of jazz standards at 2 pm. Jazz-funk band The Fabulous Red Diesel will also perform at the Festival Bar that evening.<\/p>\r\n

The Festival Tea Party returns to Kemaelli\u2019s on that Sunday from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm, with Manhattan Groove performing jazz classics featuring singer Carla Hendriks and saxophonist and clarinettist Paul Stiles.<\/p>\r\n

Elsewhere, the Fringe includes performances by Barry & Alison and vintage jazz singer Keziah, alongside workshops exploring slide guitar and the history of the blues.<\/p>\r\n

The festival\u2019s ticketed programme includes Courtney Pine, Ronnie Scott\u2019s Blues Explosion, The Cinelli Brothers, the Brit Funk Association and Simply Billy Joel, bringing jazz, blues, soul and familiar favourites to venues across the town.<\/p>\r\n
