A HAMPSHIRE beauty spot is hosting a night of big band classics and modern favourites later this month.
Lainston House, near Winchester, welcomes the Salisbury Big Band on Sunday, August 16 for the annual Big Band on the Lawns event.
Held in the grounds of the 17th-century country hotel, pictured below, it will see guests being encouraged to bring a picnic, blankets and chairs to make the most of the afternoon in the beautiful 63-acre surroundings.
The four-piece Salisbury band will play an eccentric mix of modern twists on hits from swing and jazz legends like Frank Sinatra and Glenn Miller.
Gaius Wyncoll, General Manager at Lainston House, said: “Our Big Band on the Lawns concert is a hugely popular event in Hampshire with over 250 guests attending each year, making it a significant event in the Hampshire calendar.
"We are thrilled to be bringing the event back this year and can’t wait to hear what unique twists on popular music the Salisbury Big Band will delight us with this time!”
Doors open at 1pm with the concert beginning at 2pm.
Tickets cost £25 for adults, £12.50 for under-16s and £70 for a family ticket of two adults and two children.
