Jazz at Wolverhampton Arts Centre

Featuring some of the world’s most renowned jazz musicians, these events are programmed with Jazz at Wolverhampton and supported by Arts Council England through the National Lottery Project Grants scheme.

Since 2019, the programme has brought leading UK jazz artists to Wolverhampton Arts Centre, including names like Xhosa Cole, Zoe Rahman, Iain Ballamy and Camilla George. With two packed seasons of gigs each year, the theatre plays host to the very best in contemporary jazz.

Plus –  We are now offering an exciting new platform for this next generation of jazz performers, all of them students at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. Join them in our super-relaxed, intimate café setting, bringing some zest, joy and creativity into the fourth Sunday of the month! Welcome to Café Spotlight…
