Classical Concert
Barking Abbey Ruins
Saturday 24 May 2008, 7.45pm - 10pm
This hugely popular twilight classical concert is held once again in the spectacular settings of Barking Abbey Ruins.
Gates open at 7pm to the sounds of the church bells rung by St Margaret's Church Bell Ringers.
The mood-setting music of the Aminta Concert Orchestra, conducted by Dr Donald Hoskins, plays to a background of special lighting effects, creating a romantic and magical atmosphere.
The Concert will feature a wide range of music including the traditional rousing sing-along at the end of the evening in which it is hoped you will participate.
Facilities on site include toilets, light refreshments and a licensed bar stocking a selection of wines, beers, spirits and soft drinks. We ask guests not to bring alcohol or any glass or cans into the event.
A collection for the Mayor's Charity 'Living the Dream' will take place during the evening.
The concert concludes with an awe inspiring musical firework finale.
The event is free and we welcome all ages. Children under 16 years must be accompanied by an adult.
