Enjoy a perfect summer evening at one of England’s most stunning country house estates with a picnic for two and an unforgettable night of music and fireworks. Wander the historic grounds, soak up the festival atmosphere, and settle in on the lawn with your picnic spread as the warm-up band gets your toes tapping. A full orchestra takes the stage to play a mix of film, TV, and musical favourites alongside classical classics you know and love. Marvel at moving arias from a talented soprano, then feel the thrill of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture and Beethoven’s dramatic 'Battle Symphony', complete with over 200 live cannon shots! The evening is packed with spectacle, including a mounted cavalry skills display in historic regalia, a heart-stopping freefall from the Red Devils parachute team, and the legendary ‘Grace’ Spitfire soaring overhead during the opening pieces. The night ends with a sing-along of Jerusalem, Rule Britannia, and more, while fireworks light up the summer sky. With your picnic for two, music, and a touch of drama, this is the ultimate way to enjoy a quintessentially British summer evening together.
