The acoustics were absolutely brilliant in the castle grounds. I thought the whole night went brilliantly.

We loved the location, the castle background, seeing so many people all in one place enjoying themselves. It is local to us and the fantastic line-ups made it a very memorable experience.

Small and intimate. No matter where you sit, everyone has a good view of the stage. Fantastic setting between the castle and cathedral. Staff are friendly and helpful.

All round atmosphere - fantastic setting, fountains and fireworks unbeatable.

The biggest patriotic picnic ever.

The back-drop to the concert being the Castle Gardens gives the concert a much more spectacular feel. Also love the fireworks and the water features.
