The American Museum summer evenings lean smooth this year, with live jazz from the Iain Ballamy Trio drifting across the gardens. Think sunset over the Limpley Stoke valley, a cold drink in hand, and enough room to stretch out without stepping on someone’s hummus.

Take your pick between terrace seats close to the band or a blanket on the lawn. The American Garden Deli’s got the snacks sorted, and the music’s a mix of original compositions, Brazilian gems, and a few classics from the American songbook. Not your average picnic.

This promises to be an unforgettable evening concert!
