Kadialy Kouate (Kora)
Leora Cohen String Quartet (classical, pop and Disney favourites)

Teas and homemade cakes will be available, as well as seafood paella, and there will be a bar with beer, wine and soft drinks (subject to extra charges - cash and card payments taken).

The top lawn, toilets and garden house are wheelchair accessible. The rest of the garden contains steep steps and paths. Guide dogs only.

In wet weather the event will go ahead but with a modified schedule.

We look forward to welcoming you.
