Durham Jazz Festival launches this October, join us and be a part of it

This October, the soulful sounds of the Durham Jazz Festival will fill our historic streets and at Radisson Blu Durham, we couldn’t be prouder to announce that we are the official accommodation partner for this world-class event.

While the tempo of Durham City is picking up, we are delighted to share an exclusive offer for our guests.

A world-class stage in the heart of Durham

From October 22nd – 26th, Durham will transform into a vibrant hub for jazz enthusiasts, bringing together incredible talent from across the globe.

Whether you’re a lifelong jazz-listener or a curious newcomer, the festival promises an unforgettable atmosphere against the backdrop of our UNESCO World Heritage skyline.

Hosting an event of this calibre is a testament to the thriving cultural scene in our city, and we are thrilled to play our part in welcoming performers and fans alike to the banks of the River Wear.

As the official accommodation partner, we want to ensure your festival experience is memorable for all the right reasons. Located just a short stroll from the city’s main venues, Radisson Blu offers the perfect base to immerse yourself in the music before retreating to the contemporary comfort of our relaxing rooms.
