About us
Dereham Jazz Society promotes a live jazz series "Lakeside Jazz" from its base at Lakeside Country Club, Lyng, Norfolk. We are a not for profit organisation run by unpaid volunteers. The Society meets in a friendly, informal atmosphere every Wednesday throughout the year, except for two short breaks in the summer and at Christmas time.
DJS aims to provide a wide variety of jazz music from trios to big bands. Music styles vary from week to week and include traditional, mainstream, bebop, hot club, jazz guitar and modern jazz of the ‘accessible’ kind. We generally do not promote music that is very contemporary or progressive. As well as providing a platform for some fine local musicians, we also bring talent from the surrounding counties, from London and even the USA.
We like to present a Big Band night at least once in every two month programme. There a number of excellent local big bands who appear at Lakeside in rotation.
We publish our events in this gig list posted or emailed to jazz fans on our mailing list. Up-to-date information is also available on our web site:
www.lakeside-jazz-club.co.uk
The programme overleaf is typical of what we have on offer. If you want to receive our gig lists every two months, please check the contact details and provide a postal or an email address.
At various venues, we have had 12 continuous years of presenting the best in live jazz.
All styles are catered for, including mainstream, modern, big band and traditional.

How to find us
Coming from the Dereham, Swaffham and King’s Lynn direction, leave the A47 at the North Tuddenham sign (the next exit after Aldiss Park). At the T junction immediately after leaving the A47 turn right, signed Lyng and Elsing. Simply follow that road ignoring all side roads until you come to a large GIVE WAY sign. You are now in Lyng and Quarry Lane and Lakeside are straight ahead in front of you. It couldn’t be easier.
From the A1067 Norwich/ Fakenham Road, take the turning signposted to Lyng which is about half way between Bawdeswell and Lenwade. The Lyng turning is a right hander coming from the Fakenham direction and a left turn from the Norwich direction. Once over the bridge follow the road as it bears to the right. You will pass the Fox & Hounds pub and Quarry Lane is on the right, by the sign to Elsing and just beyond the little village garage on the left. Lakeside Country Club is signposted, but keep your eyes peeled as the oval sign is buried in a hedge, just inside the lane.
Quarry Lane is due for resurfacing, unti then, we appologise for the potholes!
