Start your evening by picnicking in the beautiful Grade 1 listed Iford Manor gardens and enjoy a wander through the various water features, columns and antiquities. Then head to Iford’s Grade II* cloisters (covered for the evening) to enjoy the music of Trish Clowes (sax) and Ross Stanley (piano). In-the-round with just 90 seats, this will be a unique experience with everyone just a few meters away from the performance.
Saxophonist Trish Clowes and pianist Ross Stanley (who played the Hammond organ at Iford in 2024 with QCBA) have been carefully crafting their unique sound world over a number of years, performing their own material, arrangements of music from jazz, folk and church organ traditions, and free improvisations.
Seating
‘Up close & personal’ seats will be within the centre of the (covered) cloister and very close to the performers.
Standard seats will be located in the cloister’s ambulatories, behind the cloister’s slender columns. Seating is pre-allocated in favour of those who book first. Tickets are not issued in advance, but an usher will show you to your allocated seats on the night.
