Summer proms spectaculars offer an evening of superb open air concerts with popular classical music and movie themes, alongside all the traditional flag-waving favourites associated with prom events, such as Rule Britannia, 1812 Overture, Jerusalem and Land of Hope & Glory.

These outdoor summer concerts are all about fun and entertainment and each event will feature a star tenor and soprano performing some of the world's greatest songs and arias, including favourites such as Nessun Dorma. All concerts begin with a flypast by an original World War II Spitfire, whilst the orchestra performs rousing music such as the Dambusters Theme.

All concerts are in the grounds of stately homes or parks, so you are most definitely encouraged to bring a picnic to the proms, all combining to create a majestic environment that will have you singing along!  With each proms concert featuring a spectacular fireworks finale, this really is the perfect way to enjoy music on a magical summer's evening.

The ultimate summer proms spectacular experience also includes an official souvenir proms music CD as a reminder of your magical open air concert. A wide range of alternative "Experience Days" are available on our home page along with an imaginative selection of gift ideas on our main gifts section, just ready for you to browse.

Allow spending a whole evening at the venue. Your voucher entitles entry for two people and the Ultimate Proms Spectacular also includes a CD. Total attendance at these concerts can be up to 16 000.
