TICKETS are now on sale for Castle Howard’s summer proms - described as the biggest al fresco Proms concert in the North of England.

The stately home's summer proms, which will take place on Saturday August 3, is a key part of Yorkshire’s event calendar, welcoming thousands of concert fans with picnics, chairs and blankets.

This year, the London Gala orchestra conducted by Stephen Bell will take to the stage, and the concert programme will feature a WWII spitfire flyover to the Dambusters theme and Calling All Workers.

The concert programme will also include popular classics such as Darkness Falls, a spectacular laser and firework finale that will light up the sky, choreographed to a finale section of traditional Proms favourites, including Rule Britannia, Jerusalem, 1812 Overture and Elgar’s Pomp & Circumstance March No 1.
