Biggin Hill Band – Picnic on the North Lawn

Bring your picnic and join us on the North Lawn for a delightful afternoon of live music with one of Kent's favourite silver bands, the Biggin Hill Band.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

From timeless classics to contemporary favourites, their lively performances are the perfect accompaniment to a summer’s day outdoors.

Catch them at 1pm and 2.15pm, with each set lasting around 45 minutes.

We kindly ask that you leave gazebos and BBQs at home. There is a café on site selling hot and cold food, snacks, cakes and drinks but you are welcome to bring your own picnic.
