Prime Brass
A celebration of summer and music, Sounds Green takes place every Wednesday evening in July on the Garden’s Main Lawn, providing a perfect opportunity to embrace sights, sounds and summer scents in the Garden with family and friends on a (hopefully) warm, summer evening.
We’re delighted to welcome back Prime Brass to launch Sounds Green with a blast! Known for performances at the lighter end of the musical spectrum, this lively brass ensemble is sure to get people of all ages up and dancing!
Picnics are welcome. Food and drink will be provided by a variety of food trucks, Jack’s Gelato and The Garden Café.
Bring a rug or picnic chair and relax in beautiful surroundings to some stunning musical sounds!
Tickets available – £ 9.50 for adults, children free entry
