Description

Have a night to remember as you enjoy a glorious summer's evening of fine music and entertainment complete with a spectacular firework display. All concerts are picnic style and set in the grounds of one of the UK's most historic and beautiful country houses or castles, creating a majestic environment in which to enjoy a superb evening of entertainment. Featuring a full piece orchestra you are guaranteed an evening of superb popular classics and movie themes, alongside all the traditional rousing flag-waving favourites associated with the Last Night of the Proms, such as Rule Britannia, 1812 Overture complete with cannons, Jerusalem and Land Of Hope & Glory. At selected locations you'll see breathtaking pyrotechnics, cannons firing and Napoleonic cavalry displays. Many of the concerts also feature an aerial display by an original WWII Spitfire, as the orchestra performs rousing music such as the Dambusters Theme (check for details on booking). For the finale sit back and enjoy the spectacular fireworks. This is truly the perfect way to enjoy a magical summer's evening you will never forget!
