Sounds Green 2026: Week 3

Enjoy swing and jazz from The Basin Street Brawlers

Normal Admission

Event details

Wednesday 15 July 2026
6.15 - 8.30pm

Book

A celebration of summer and music, Sounds Green takes place every Wednesday evening in July on the Garden’s Main Lawn, providing a perfect opportunity to embrace sights, sounds and summer scents in the Garden with family and friends on a (hopefully) warm, summer evening.

Described as ‘London’s top hot jazz ensemble’ by visitlondon.com, The Basin Street Brawlers will bring New Orleans style swing and jazz to the Garden. The band has featured live on BBC Radio 3 and as The Sunday Times’ CD of the Week.

🎵 Picnics are welcome. Food and drink will be provided by a variety of food trucks, Jack’s Gelato and The Garden Café.

🎵 Bring a rug or picnic chair and relax in beautiful surroundings to some stunning musical sounds!

🎵 Tickets available – see “Book” button above.

Five individuals are playing musical instruments in a dimly lit room. They are seated with a guitar, saxophone, trombone, trumpet, and piano. The setting appears to be a jazz band performance area.
