Ongar Jazz Club was founded in 1986 as a non- profit making organisation and has developed into one of this country’s leading jazz clubs.

Concerts are held monthly from September through to May. Our AGM (open to all) usually precedes the October concert.

Our charity work helps worthy local organisations and money is raised entirely from the generosity of our members through our monthly raffle.  Information about the charities we support can be found here.

There is no fee for membership for the forthcoming 38th Season.
