Flore Arts Events was formed in 2016 in the village of Flore, Northamptonshire by a group of like-minded people with the objective of raising money for local charities through a programme of arts-related events and activities. Since our inception we have hosted a range of musical events from early music to jazz - not to mention poetry evenings and a silent movie night.​​

​

Many thanks to all of you who have so generously supported our events. We have now raised in excess of £30,000 for local charities

​

Jazz in the Garden: Sunday 13th July 2.30pm; gates open 1.30pm. Now pretty much a fixture on the Flore Arts calendar. Once again our hosts will be the generous owners of Rock Springs in Sutton St, Flore. This year we will again be entertained by Tad Newton’s Jazz Friends.

​

As always we’re anticipating a programme of foot-tapping jazz and ragtime favourites in a relaxed garden setting. You’ll also have the opportunity to buy teas, cakes, soft drinks, Pimm’s, wine or beer.  Just bring something to sit on (and perhaps your dancing shoes).

​

Tickets: £15 (£5 under 18s). Please call Rosemary Read on 01327 341026 (between 9am and 6pm). You can also purchase tickets at Re, 2A Sutton St, Flore, NN7 4LE (during shop opening hours).

​

Track Dogs: Saturday September 27th 8.00pm. All Saints Church, Flore. Formed in the autumn of 2006 in Madrid around the core line-up of acoustic guitar, electric bass, trumpet and cajón, Track Dogs have since added banjo, ukulele and mandolin. A big part of their sound comes from their four part vocal harmonies. Expect a smorgasbord of folk, rumba, jazz and blues from this band with a big reputation who have performed regularly at festivals across Europe.

​

Tickets £20; call Rosemary Read on 01327 341026 (between 9am and 6pm). Also from Re, 2A Sutton St, Flore, NN7 4LE (during shop opening hours).

​

Here’s a reminder of your diary dates for the rest of the year:
