Elegant black-tie picnic

Enjoy a relaxing evening picnic in the fragrant Grey's Court gardens while classical music fills the air.

On Saturday 15 July, classical music lovers can bring chairs, rugs and a picnic basket along to the National Trust's Grey's Court for an evening of classical music under the stars.

From 7pm, guests will be welcomed with wine and canapés and can stroll around the gardens listening to various classic ensembles performing.

The highlight of the evening will be the performance of Gazebo, a classical band, on the main lawn where guests can sit, relax and enjoy their own refreshments.

Tickets cost £25 and all proceeds will go to the National Trust to help maintain Grey's Court. The dress code is black-tie.
