Join us this Summer for a night of music, picnics and an exclusive after-hours music evening in The Alnwick Garden, all in aid of The Alnwick Garden Trust, supporting the local community.
Over three nights you are cordially invited to bring a picnic blanket, find a spot on the lawn and enjoy the music of the Northern String Quartet.
Along with this amazing quartet, you will find a different musician at every corner you turn around The Garden. From harpists to pianists to saxophonists, there are a whole host of opportunities to grab a spot and sit and enjoy.
On two of these nights, you can even participate in a Gong Bathing session on the Hepworth Lawn!
With eight acts per night, you can enjoy a variety of music in one evening.
Bring a picnic and blanket, also on the night there will be waffles, ice cream, Prosecco and other vendors along with a bar in the Pavilion.
You can also pre-order picnics from us by clicking here
Please note that we are in Northumberland and the weather is not always predictable. Whilst we are praying for a dry night, please come prepared for rain – just in case! If we do experience rain, providing that the musicians can still perform then the night will go ahead. Brollies and raincoats at the ready!
