The Jersey Soul Weekender is set to return for one more year in 2027, following its biggest ever event in 2026. And the organisers have shared a heartfelt thank you to the dancers, music lovers and supporters who have helped make it such a success over the years.
Organised by Fitzsoul, the popular event has been bringing soul music fans to Jersey since 2009, creating a weekend centred around great music, dancing, friendship and plenty of memorable moments.
What began as the first Jersey Soul Weekend has grown into an established event, attracting visitors from across the UK and the Channel Islands and building a loyal community of returning guests.
A weekend built on music and friendship
In a message shared following this year's event, organisers Fitzy, Christine and the Fitzsoul team have thanked everyone who has been part of the Weekender's journey.
They also paid tribute to the teams at the Mayfair Hotel, which hosted the event from 2009 to 2021, and the Merton Hotel, which has been its home since 2022.
The organisers described 2026 as a huge success, with the highest attendance in the event's history, thanking both the Merton Hotel and everyone who helped make the weekend what it has become.
While reflecting on the many years of music, laughter and dancing, the team were keen to emphasise that this isn't quite the end.
One more year in 2027!
For anyone wondering whether the Weekender would return, there is good news. Jersey Soul Weekender will be back at the Merton Hotel in November 2027, following popular demand.
The organisers have confirmed that bookings are already being taken, giving soul music fans another opportunity to enjoy a weekend of dancing, fantastic tunes and great company.
After nearly two decades of bringing people together through a shared love of soul music, it's clear that the friendships and memories created at these events are just as important as the music itself.
To Fitzy, Christine, the DJs, the Fitzsoul team and everyone who has danced their way through the years – here's to one more year of making memories!
