THE Tudor moated manor house Oxburgh Hall will come alive to the sound of classic jazz with a one-night only performance by Chris Wrigley's Dixieland Jazz Band.
Set in the open air, beside the moat and with the historic hall as the backdrop, the concert promises to be a great evening of jazz and outdoor living.
Kay Donachie from Oxburgh Hall has been organising Friday's concert.
'We've had a few of these jazz evenings here at Oxburgh over the years, but took a break last year so I'm delighted to see the jazz back again for 2010,' she said.
'With such a beautiful setting and the option to either bring your own picnic or join in with our barbecue, it's always a fantastic evening.
'Chris Wrigley's Dixieland Jazz Band are new to Oxburgh, so we're looking forward to welcoming them and enjoying some top-quality classic jazz in the fresh air.'
