Swing Unlimited are based in Bournemouth and perform gigs and special events across the south of England. Their outdoor appearances at Salisbury are becoming a regular feature of summer in the city.

Last year hundreds of local families turned up, bringing their own picnics, to enjoy a couple of hours of foot-tapping song and dance.

Swing Unlimited will be playing outside the cathedral from 1pm on August 25. The event is free, with no booking required.
