Valentine’s Night isn’t just for heart-shaped clichés. It’s about the space between the notes and the people you choose to share them with - whether that’s a partner, a best friend, or a group of fellow music lovers.
That’s why we’re turning Kemaellis into a candlelit salon, with great live jazz, and a three-course supper designed to slow the world down. This isn’t dinner with background music. It’s a jazz night for music lovers — with dinner.
Begin with a welcome cocktail, then ease into a beautifully crafted set menu while festival favourites, Manhattan Groove, deliver two setsof jazz standards, torch songs and Latin ballads — the kind of music that makes the room lean in.
We’ll handle the little touches too: a rose for the table, an optional Polaroid snap of your table to take home, and a few more surprises!
Date: Saturday, February 14th
Venue: Kemaelli’s, 16 North Street, Midhurst, GU29 9DJ
Time: Doors from 6.30pm, music from 7.30pm. Tables pre-booked only.
Price: £49 per person/ £43 for Festival Friends (see below).
