Enjoy a choice of best-loved bands from your own designated, socially-distanced picnic patch in a spectacular setting.  It’s the safe, hassle-free way to get together and have fun!

Following its acclaimed debut last summer, SOUNDS IN THE GROUNDS returns in 2021 with a new line-up of 7 best-loved bands performing at 9 live picnic concerts across 3 stunning venues: Scampston Hall near Malton (11-13 June), York Racecourse (25-27 June) and Ripley Castle near Harrogate (20-22 August).

Audiences can pre-select their picnic patch (available for 2, 4 or 6 people) and avoid the usual rush for a space.  The patches will be socially-distanced from others but close enough to share the fun. (All concerts will conform to prevailing Covid-19 guidance).

In fully staged productions with LED screens, SOUNDS IN THE GROUNDS offers a choice of:

  • The Definitive Rat Pack – an uncannily accurate recreation of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr in a sublime evening of swing;
  • One Night of Tina – a spectacular rock ‘n’ rollercoaster ride through four decades of the legendary Tina Turner’s greatest hits;
  • Killer Queen – the iconic songs and showmanship of one of the greatest ever rock bands are recreated with such electrifying precision you’ll have to pinch yourself!
  • Beyond the Barricade – past principals from Les Miserables perform showstoppers from the world’s greatest musicals;
  • ABBA Mania – from London’s West End to Las Vegas, the world’s number one touring ABBA tribute with platforms, flares and all your favourites;
  • A Country Night in Nashville – enjoy a true celebration of country music, with hits from its biggest stars both past and present;
  • New York Brass Band – York’s very own and a Glastonbury favourite to get the party started as the support act to each concert.
