Castle Concerts
Jools and Proms return to Rochester
Held each July in the beautiful setting of Rochester Castle
Gardens, this is one of the key events in the south-east calendar -
a fantastic mixture of artists designed to appeal to everyone,
whatever their age or musical preference.
We’re very excited to announce the first two names to headline
next summer’s Castle
Concerts, set in the intimate and inspiring Rochester Castle
Gardens.

present, or simply get in quick and make sure your own tickets are
secured.
Jools Holland and His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra takes to the
stage on Wednesday, 18 July. A bona fide livewire

the orchestra’s classic live blend of pop sensibilities and boogie
woogie magic that leaves more than 200,000 people
wide-eyed with wonder every year.
The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra returns with the
