Join us for one of the most upbeat and fun events of the summer on the Northwood House Lawns… The Great Swing Picnic!

If you love a great night out, gather some friends and dress yourselves up in style for this fun-filled frolic picnic event this July! We bring you a vintage-themed night of entertainment, headlined by one of the best swing and dixieland jazz bands on the national circuit…the incredible Alvar TreeFrogs from London!

This professional six piece band recreate the energetic musical vibe of a vintage New Orleans street party from the 1920s and 30s which is sure to have you up and jiving with your friends until the cows come home! Covering classic dixie-style jazz and swing tracks from a golden age of incredible uptempo music, this is a unique opportunity not to be missed!

Getting the Swing Picnic off to a lively start, you’ll be welcomed by our Swing Picnic DJs Ronnie Pakes & Ian Hobbs who’ll set the tone for what’s to come. Then, before we get to our Treefrogs, the Island’s own vintage dance supremos, the Gramophone Fun Band, headed up by the legendary JC Grimshaw and Paul Armfield, will get you warmed up with their own unique style of vintage swing and gypsy jazz.

What a treat for music lovers and those in search of a very sociable night out here at Northwood House, one of the Island’s most popular event venues of the last few years.

Dressing up and making a real effort is kind of the thing for the Swing Picnic…that’s what makes it Great! Just think Great Gatsby, Prohibition, Peaky Blinders, Downton Abbey or anything from between the 1920’s -1940’s goes. Be a style icon for the night and just go for it, you’ll be in great company!
