On Friday June 1 at 7pm Holkham Hall will be hosting the
concert ‘Long May She Reign’, marking the start of its Diamond Jubilee celebrations
with music performed by an impressive line-up of talented musicians.
Funds from the concert will go
towards King's Lynn
Hospital League of
Friends, whose main objective is to raise money for the purchase of equipment
and amenities in local hospitals.
Performers include the tenor
Stephen Miles, pianist Gill Smith, lutenist Peter Trent, the Wensum Chorale and
Holborne Recorder Consort, who will make a fitting musical launch to three days
of Jubilee celebrations at the hall. Music will include Britten folk songs, lute
solos and madrigals from the reign of Elizabeth I and music from the 1950s
onwards in a celebration of Queen Elizabeth II.
Festivities will continue
throughout the weekend with a 1950s inspired fun, fashion and food event. On Sunday
3, Monday 4 and Tuesday 5 the Hall, Bygones Museum and courtyard will be alive
with activities and events including period cooking demonstrations, a fashion
show and rock and roll music – promising to create a lively party atmosphere.
Inspired by the Queen’s 1,000 boat
flotilla on the Thames, younger visitors will
have the chance to help build Holkham’s own royal flotilla, which will be
floated on the lake on Tuesday June 5.
Concert tickets cost £20 and
include a glass of wine in The Saloon during the interval. Tickets for the
flotilla workshop cost £15 per child. Normal
admission prices apply for the 1950s inspired celebrations. For more
