Brecon Jazz Festival / Brecon, Wales

Over the years, travelers and tourists have been drawn to Wales for many reasons. Whether it’s the country’s many historic towns, its rolling hills, its friendly people, it’s culture or its lush and picturesque rural landscapes, one thing is clear, Wales has something for everyone. Wales is part of the United Kingdom, bordering England to its east, and the Atlantic Ocean and Irish Sea to its west. It is about two hours west of London by road or by rail. But the tiny town of Brecon is something special…a true Welsh treasure. Every year, this quaint little town of only 8,000, situated in the foothills of the beautiful Brecon Beacons mountain range, plays host to one of the most important jazz festivals in Europe…the Brecon Jazz Festival. For four days, live performances, workshops, and master classes take over the town. With an ongoing vision to be an event to showcase serious Welsh bands, the Brecon Jazz Festival also always features a strong lineup of excellent International jazz musicians. For a great, out-of-the-way, intimate jazz getaway, consider a visit to The Brecon Jazz Festival.
