Bring your own picnic to enjoy in the picturesque surroundings of Pevensey Castle, with three short concerts
Add to my Calendar 11-08-2024 17:00 11-08-2024 19:00 36 A Musical Picnic at Pevensey Castle When English Heritage asked Music Box if we were interested in hosting a concert at Pevensey Castle, we had to think hard about how to use this unique space as creatively as possible. The castle grounds are glorious, but there’s no large covered space for a performance – so we came up with the idea of a Musical Picnic. Bring your own picnic or buy drinks and light refreshments from the castle café. Explore the castle’s grounds and its rich history and enjoy three short concerts in the East Tower, the Second World War Room and the dungeon! Hear music from the Middle Ages with Ensemble Faronel, harpist Fiona Hosford with singer Rosie Page and trumpeter Marcus Plant. A trumpet call from the battlements will herald the beginning of each recital! Pevensey Castle, Pevensey DD/MM/YYYYDetails
