Country house once owned by Led Zeppelin reveals exciting 2016 programme

Featuring an array of talent and styles, a packed summer of events will kick off with the upbeat George Gershwin and finish with the Tudor tunes of Orlando Gibbons.

Big names include international master pianist Adolfo Barabino, with fresh talent from the award-winning young keyboardist Alexandra Kremakova.

Tickets to this venue cost £15. They can be purchased during the interval and include refreshments after the concert.

Children get in for free and parents who bring children can enter for half-price. Each recital follows a tour of the house.

Organisers David and Anne-Noelle Pinnegar said: “It’s been 33 years since we first held concerts at Hammerwood, but this year looks to be one of our most exciting yet.”

They continued: “We’re especially delighted that Adolfo Barabino has found time to come back to Hammerwood this year – even if his taste in music might, just possibly, be a little different from Led Zep’s erstwhile frontmen Robert Plant and Jimmy Page.

“If you can’t make our concerts, Hammerwood Park is open to visitors at 2pm every Wednesday and Saturday from June 1 to the end of September.”
