| Classics on the Hill | Local professional musicians come together to give you a wonderful and varied evening of classical music - one of the most popular events of the Festival! Suitable for adults and children. |
The evening presents serious music in an exciting and entertaining manner - a bit like the best of the Proms packed into a single evening, without the queues (or the orchestra...) and only a short walk away. It will please both old and young (child-friendly especially in the first half - giving families with early bedtimes the option of leaving early). Previous year's performances have had rapturous receptions, and this has always been a popular event. |
