After the extraordinary adventure of producing a grand opera in Monaco in 2009, we return to our classic Castles and Concerts model for our 2010 adventure.
Our Grand and Ancient Castle
New Hall, first constructed in the 12th century, received its current name 300 years later when the new great hall was added in preparation for a state visit by Henry VIII. His daughter, Queen Elizabeth I, was also a guest here at the time that Shakespeare was writing plays for her and her court. The castle sits on 26 acres of beautiful parkland and has a state of the art Spa built into the picturesque old carriage house.
Exploring the Surrounding Countryside
We have arranged days of various activities. We will organize ourselves into groups and each day your group will set out on a new adventure. We have handpicked the guides for their talent in making the past come alive with their stories. We have also made them aware of the special nature of our group and they are eagerly awaiting our arrival. You can click on the itinerary link above to get a detailed description of each day.
Sumptuous Banquets and Concerts
We will have a great treasure trove of talent available each evening, and will have celebrated chefs to cook for us. We will also welcome the participation of our gifted guests in our evening shows. And for even more fun, we will bring in talented professional actors and local musicians to give readings from Shakespeare and to perform the renaissance music that Henry VIII enjoyed in these very halls.
