Towngate Theatre Jazz Cafe - Basildon

A Top-Tier Jazz Venue Just Beyond Norfolk — Well Worth the Trip

Towngate Theatre Entrance
Towngate Theatre Basildon, The Entrance

The Towngate Theatre Jazz Cafe is yet another newly discovered Jazz Venue. It caught my eye because many of their acts have also performed at Upwell Jazz Club and Peterborough Jazz Club.

The Jazz Events are held monthly on the third Thursday of every month in the Towngate Theatre Cafe. They are mostly lunchtime events which makes the travelling easier for us!

For further detailed information about events at the club, take a look at https://towngatetheatre.co.uk/towngate-jazz-cafe/.
