Music, art, theatre and a kids' mini festival come together for the 11-day JAM on the Marsh festival this summer.

Running from Thursday, July 6 to Sunday, July 16, the multi-arts festival, which featured 55 new works, and attracted more than 10,000 people last year, returns for its fourth year with Daniel Cook, sub-organist of Westminster Abbey, taking over as curator.

Music featured includes a world premiere by BBC Singers for broadcast on Radio 3, the London Mozart Players and toe-tapping jazz with the David Rees-Williams trio.

There will be an open-air performance of Shakespeare’s Hamlet by the Changeling Theatre company, five art and photography exhibitions, and the launch of a children's community choir.

A one-day mini festival for children will be packed with fun, music, art, theatre and

bugs, with Bounce Theatre challenging kids to create a story based around the Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Railway and The Railway Children by Marsh author Edith Nesbit.

Horse-drawn theatre company, Sabotage,returns to the festival to give performances of its new production, The Looker, and there will be a puppet making workshop.

The Magnard Ensemble will perform one of the greatest works for children, Peter and the Wolf and, also for children, this year there will be a community choir with Kent Music, formed from children at local schools including Brenzett, Dymchurch, Greatstone, Hythe Bay, New Romney and Palmarsh and called the Romney Marsh Choir.
