Concert 3pm (gates open from 11:00am), Sunday 13th September 2026
Eynsford Concert Band is delighted to be invited back to Lullingstone Castle for another Summer Concert in the wonderful grounds of Lullingstone Castle and World Gardens.
The band was founded in 1972 by Robin O’Connell who lived at Lullingstone until his death in 1997. While the band didn’t perform at the castle often, many of the band’s members have very fond memories of band socials and “after concert” get-togethers in his apartments there. This year marks what would have been Robin’s 80th Birthday, so it is only fitting that this concert will be in his memory.
Bring a picnic and join us for a great afternoon of music in this beautiful location. Enjoy a varied programme of music with something for all the family – from pop hits through musicals and movies to the classics. A Refreshments Tent will also be open, but please bring your own seating/blanket.
Your ticket also gets you entry to the famous ‘World Garden’ where you can see horticultural delights from around the world.
You can read more about Lullingstone Castle here.

House, Grounds and World Garden open from 11:00am and concert at 3:00pm (weather permitting).
