I know there are a number of gypsy-jazz/Django fans lurking on this site who may be interested in this festival in the Midlands.
The highlight (for me) would be the Rosenberg Trio on Sunday 10th July who are quite amazing, but the whole event looks mouth-watering!

Weelittledrummer, I'm not sure about the suitability for disabled access. The park is described as 11 acres of "rolling grassy slopes", not ideal terrain by the sound of it, but the site linked above in the original post has a contact-link to the organisers, who would advise.
I have an unconfirmed report that the Rosenberg Trio may be appearing at the "Quecumbar" in London, also in July, but neither the venues' nor the Rosenbergs' site can verify.
If they are, it would be a superb chance to see them in a more intimate and access-friendly environment.

Pity I can't get to England for it, I love Django and Gypsy jazz. When I was still doing my army service there was a reservist who was a blues and jazz guitarist, played Django for him which he had never heard before, and couldn't get it out of his head.
