Cholmondeley Fireworks Concert

18th July 2009
The Summer Night Will Come Alive With The Cholmondeley Fireworks Concert. On 18th July, stunning 19th Century Cholmondeley Castle will once again host its award winning Fireworks Concert. Now in its 18th year, the annual summer spectacular will, for the first time, be staged on the Saturday evening of the Cholmondeley Pageant of Power – a weekend of motorsport, air displays and powerboat racing.

Providing an additional twist to the annual extravaganza, this year’s display will take the form of a Military Tattoo with spine-tingling musical accompaniment courtesy of the Manchester Camerata Orchestra. Highlights of the programme include Wagner’s ‘Ride of the Valkyries’, Goodwin’s ‘Where Eagles Dare’ and Bizet’s ‘Carmen Toreador’s Song’ The big bang spectacular will culminate in Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, complete with real cannon fire by the 103 Regiment Royal Artillery.

The breathtaking beauty of the picturesque grounds and romantic castle provide the perfect background to a wonderful summer night that is not to be missed, so why not bring a picnic and enjoy the Concert and amazing fireworks display from the Castle Lawn.
