The first is an exciting evening of “Jazz at the Laverton” on 24 April with the award-winning jazz pianist Rossano Sportiello who is visiting from the USA. Tickets are on sale now so don’t miss out on what should be an amazing evening of the highest quality jazz. Then on 4 June, the festival is bringing its first outdoor......

Yes, it’s over for another year – and even with the difficulties of prolonged roadworks at the time of the festival fortnight, 2019 still proved to be a wonderful festival. With old favourites and some exciting new performers, the Westbury Festival goes from strength to strength and we are already giving some thought to next year. In fact our AGM and first planning meeting for 2020 takes place this Tuesday, 12 November at 7 pm at the Laverton. Everyone is welcome! However, we couldn’t do it alone.

Apologies if this has happened to you and thank you for your support all the same......
