Enjoy a wonderful summer evening together with this Summer Proms Picnic Offer for Two, held in the stunning grounds of one of England's beautiful country house estates. Leave the food preparation at home and simply arrive ready to relax, as your included picnic basket provides the perfect accompaniment to an unforgettable night of entertainment. Find your spot on the lawn, take in the atmosphere and enjoy a leisurely picnic as the excitement begins to build. Before the orchestra takes to the stage, you'll be treated to a variety of spectacular displays, including vintage vocal performances, a colourful mounted cavalry showcase and a thrilling parachute display from the Red Devils. Watch the skies for the arrival of the iconic Grace Spitfire, performing a breathtaking flypast as the evening's music gets underway. The full orchestra then delivers a memorable programme packed with classical favourites, film scores, musical hits and powerful soprano performances. As darkness falls, experience the drama of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture and Beethoven's Battle Symphony, brought to life with the thunderous sound of live cannon fire. Round off the evening with a traditional Proms singalong featuring favourites such as Jerusalem and Rule Britannia before a spectacular fireworks display illuminates the night sky. Combining delicious food, incredible entertainment and a beautiful outdoor setting, this Summer Proms Picnic experience for two is the perfect way to celebrate the season together.
