Proms at Buckden Towers
2026-06-13 18:00 - 21:00 | Outdoors at Buckden Towers, PE19 5TA
Set within the historic grounds of Buckden Towers, the Proms returns in 2026 on Saturday 13 June (6:00pm–9:00pm), offering an evening of music, atmosphere, and shared celebration.
Now in its fourth year, the event has quickly established itself as a highlight of the summer calendar—bringing together live music, food, and community in a setting that is both relaxed and distinctive.
🎺 What to expect
At the heart of the evening is a vibrant live programme, typically featuring:

a large brass or big band
accomplished live singers
performances from local groups and musicians

Drawing on previous Proms events at the Towers, the format is designed as a full evening experience, rather than simply a concert. Guests are encouraged to arrive early, with the grounds opening beforehand to allow time to settle in and enjoy the setting.
🧺 A picnic and summer evening atmosphere
One of the defining features of the Proms at Buckden Towers is its informal, picnic-style atmosphere. Visitors typically:

bring chairs, blankets, and picnics
gather in groups across the lawns
enjoy the gradual transition from daylight into a lit evening performance

Alongside this, there is a strong hospitality offer:

food trucks and hot food options
a fully licensed bar
refreshments available from early evening (often from around 5:30pm)

This creates something closer to a summer garden celebration than a formal concert—combining music, food, and atmosphere in a relaxed, sociable setting.
🎟️ Tickets and booking
Tickets for the 2026 event are available online via:

Book tickets for Proms at Buckden Towers

They are managed through Pomegranate Events, who organise the evening and other events at the Towers.

✨ The overall experience
As the music builds and the evening light fades, the setting of Buckden Towers becomes part of the performance itself—historic walls, open lawns, and the shared presence of the audience all contributing to a sense of occasion.
The Proms at Buckden Towers is not simply a concert. It is:

a social summer gathering
a celebration of live music
and an opportunity to enjoy the grounds in a way that feels both relaxed and memorable

Whether arriving with a picnic or enjoying the food on offer, it offers an evening that blends heritage, hospitality, and music into a distinctive and enjoyable experience.
