The Love Supreme Jazz Festival is the largest outdoor jazz festival in Europe.
Held over 3 days on the first weekend of July, Love Supreme hosts a world-class line up of jazz, R&B, funk, soul and more. The festival’s home is the stunning grounds of Glynde Place in the iconic South Downs of East Sussex – one of the UKs most beautiful National Parks.
Widely regarded as a highlight of the summer festival calendar by artists and audiences alike, the festival attracts global superstars, jazz legends and the best new artists from the world of jazz, soul and R&B in a unique location.
