The French café-style music of La Mer will float through three gardens during the festival.

Pack a picnic and head to Stratford’s King Edward Park, Gravetye and Kahikatea for gypsy swing classics led by vocalist Dominique Blatti.

Sit at café tables or lay a blanket to enjoy a gorgeous garden swirling with mesmerising music. La Mer’s line-up also includes Bernie Schmid on guitar, Malcolm Alder on bass, Helen Griffiths on violin and Aaron Bosch on piano accordion.

Ce sera magnifique!
