Experience a quintessentially British summer evening with the Summer Proms Picnic Concerts, set in the magnificent grounds of some of England’s finest country estates. Soak up the festival atmosphere as a full live orchestra performs a spectacular programme of classical favourites, film scores, and beloved show tunes. Expect stirring arias from a world-class soprano, the thunderous drama of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture and Beethoven’s Battle Symphony, complete with the firing of over 200 live cannons! Before the main performance, enjoy live vintage music, unpack your picnic, and sip on some bubbly as the excitement builds. Marvel at the mounted cavalry’s skill-at-arms display, the Red Devils parachute freefall, and the breathtaking flyover of the legendary ‘Grace’ Spitfire — all setting the stage for an unforgettable night. As darkness falls, join in a rousing sing-along finale with Jerusalem and Rule Britannia, before the evening ends in a blaze of colour with a spectacular firework display.
