Music Events in Kent and Sussex

Live music events and festivals in Kent and Sussex feature prominently in the Garden of England events calendar. In the summer you can enjoy a variety of outdoor music concerts of all genres – from jazz to opera and everything in between, as well as popular large music events such as the Hop Farm Music Festival and the series of outdoor concerts at Bedgebury Forest.

Visitors to Finchcocks Musical Museum near Goudhurst are not only treated to informal recitals and deomonstrations of the collection of historic keyboard instruments, they can also take advantage of a varied and entertaining series of classical and jazz concerts throughout the year as part of the Finchcocks Midsummer and Autumn Festivals in celebration of its 40th anniversary. 

In the summer many of the stately homes and castles provide impressive backdrops for large, outdoor music festivals and picnics, and in the winter provide cosy and intimate venues for smaller musical events in Kent and Sussex.
