The Bournbrook Inn in Stirchley said that the festival was a “good thing” to have locally, as it brought in extra customers to its hotel every year.
It has 53 rooms which are “always full” during the event, as the hotel sees a 10% rise in bookings compared to a normal weekend.
“We get in more staff to look after the hotel; there are definitely benefits of the festival,” the pub said.
Artists like Ezra Collective stayed at the hotel over the weekend while performing at the festival while other rooms were open so artists could use the showers in between performances.
“We’re happy to host any guests; it’s nice for the staff to have the artists but it’s also quite low-key,” the pub said.
Mostly Jazz, Funk and Soul Festival is set to run in 2026 from 10 to 12 July, and artists could be announced at the end of the year.
