Battle Proms Picnic Concert

About the show

An uplifting celebration of iconic music, dazzling fireworks and breathtaking displays

2026 marks the 25th anniversary of the Highclere Castle Battle Proms and it's going to be bigger and better than ever, so pack a picnic, chill the fizz and join the celebrations!

Join us in the stunning setting overlooking 'the real Downton Abbey' for an unforgettable open-air picnic concert featuring iconic pieces from film, TV and the musicals alongside uplifting classical music you know and love performed by the New English Concert Orchestra.

Plus of course all the traditional 'last night of the proms' flag-waving sing-along favourites such as Jerusalem, Land of Hope and Glory and more led by superstar soprano Denise Leigh, all under a dazzling sky of fireworks!

And there's so much to enjoy: sing along to vintage classics with the Battle Proms Belles, get your toes tapping with the glamourous Victory Swing dancers, visit the fascinating living history groups and revel in breathtaking displays by the legendary Grace Spitfire, the Worcestershire Cavalry and the world-famous Red Devils Parachute Team!

Whether you're planning a special evening as a couple, a group celebration, or want to enjoy an informal concert as a family then this is the unique experience you've been looking for!
