My family and I are so excited to be attending Castle Howard Proms on Saturday 19th August. The concert style event looks spectacular and has an amazing line-up of guests. It will be the first time my girls will have attended a classical concert and what a backdrop the stunning setting of Castle Howard in North Yorkshire promises to be!
The opening of the event will begin with the evocative sound of the last remaining spitfire.
We are really looking forward to seeing Brit award winners Blake, as well as Joanna Forest, who is a rising classical soprano star. I am also looking forward to my children experiencing live music from the London Gala Orchestra in this magnificent outdoor venue. Even better is the fact that the event is “picnic style” so a relaxed atmosphere for experiencing a classical concert for the first time.
