Marsden Jazz Festival attracts thousands of people and hundreds of musicians each year.
With almost 100 gigs across 26 venues, organising the three-day event is no mean feat, and would not be possible without the hard work of the festival volunteers.
A dedicated team plan and run the festival each year, from the initial stages to ensuring the festival weekend run smoothly.
And you can help to keep Marsden swinging — and make sure the popular festival returns each year.

Sponsor
The festival says sponsors are vital to the presence of the festival across Marsden each year — and there's lots of opportunities, from sponsoring venues to individual concerts and other events, merchandise including t-shirts, and festival leaflets.
The festival is supported by a host of local sponsors, including the 14th Huddersfield United Church Marsden Scouts, Marsden Fisheries, Marsden Mechanics Hall, Michael Rath Musical Instruments, Marsden Community Association and more.
