THE GREAT Central Big Band will headline an annual jazz concert on the lawn at Upton House.

The National Trust property near Banbury will open up for a 'jazz journey' from the 1920s through to the modern day on Saturday, July, 7.

Boasting a 20-strong band of flute, clarinet, trombone and trumpet players, the Great Central Big Band will get the audience singing and dancing on the estate's vast lawn.

Also on hand will be the Cotswold Distillery on to show how to make the perfect gin cocktail.

The gardens will be open from 6pm for picnics and garden strolls and the event runs from 6.30-9pm.

Tickets are £15 for adults.
