Let Notorious choir take you on a musical journey inspired by nature in the historic setting of Blakesley Hall.

Relax on your picnic blanket* in the gardens and we’ll transport you to the heart of the natural world with timeless classics of Thomas Tallis and William Byrd, through to the contemporary harmonies of Eric Whitacre. We’ll also perform nature-inspired chart-toppers by Carly Simon, Justin Timberlake and the Beatles – a classic notorious mix!

There will be time included to explore the Hall at your own leisure. Please bring your own picnic blanket or camping chairs to sit on as these will not be provided.
