THE sounds of swing and jive will be heard across the grounds of Ragley Hall later this year when Swingtime in the Gardens festival arrives.

More than a dozen vocalists and bands have been confirmed for the special one-day event, on Saturday, June 15.

As well as the fabulous music on offer, vintage fans will be in their element among a marketplace of stalls selling clothing, accessories, homeware and music memorabilia.

Adding to a great day out for all the family, there will be swing dance workshops, a range of food and drink stalls and fairground rides.

Among the lively line-up of jive and swing music is six-piece band The Jive Aces, who have performed for the Queen, and played at Glastonbury.
