A Boost for Sutton Coldfield’s Businesses & Music Scene
The festival is expected to bring increased footfall to Sutton Coldfield, boosting trade for local businesses and offering visitors the chance to experience the town’s fantastic hospitality. Previous years have seen venues packed with music lovers enjoying everything from smooth jazz and swing to bluesy guitar solos and big band classics.
Royal Sutton Coldfield BID, which is promoting the festival in the town centre, is actively encouraging more businesses to participate. Venue owners can benefit from free live performances and a festival atmosphere that attracts both regulars and new customers.
Opportunities for More Venues & Local Musicians
With the festival’s open-access format, more Sutton Coldfield venues still have time to get involved. Businesses that want to host a performance can sign up via Visit Royal Sutton Coldfield—the official local brand of the Royal Sutton Coldfield BID.
Local musicians looking to take part should also get in touch, as the festival is known for showcasing emerging talent alongside established performers.
