Fonmon Castle to host summer music events

Fonmon Castle hosted two similar events in 2024

Fonmon Castle is to host a series of live music concerts this summer.

The 12th century castle, which opened as a visitor attraction five years ago, will stage three events taking in classical music, rock and pop.

Rock the Fonmon - featuring tribute bands Flash (A Tribute to Queen) and AD/DC Uk, along with covers from the Aderyn String Quartet - will be held in a big festival marquee on Saturday 30th August.

The following night (Sunday 31st August) will see Proms at the Castle, featuring live performances from award-winning tenor Adriano Graziani along with music and TV soundtracks performed by the Aderyn String Quartet, during an evening hosted by West End singer Anthony Stuart Lloyd.

The following weekend, on Sunday 7th September, there'll be an all-day 80s tribute festival ''Home by 9'', featuring headline act Airtight 80s and a host of tributes to the likes of George Michael, Bon Jovi, Madonna and Phil Collins.

Ross Mackintosh, events director at Fonmon Castle, said: "It's really important to me and to everyone at Fonmon Castle that we create real value for money - not just in terms of ticket prices but in the whole experience."

"When people arrive, we want them to enjoy a fantastic event without feeling like they're being overcharged at every turn. That means making sure food and drink are really reasonably priced, so families and friends can relax, enjoy great entertainment, and not worry about breaking the bank."

Last September, Fonmon Castle's owner Nigel Ford unveiled plans to expand the Grade I-listed site, including a new restaurant, holiday lodges and camping spaces.

Since opening to the public, the castle grounds now include a number of attractions such as a dinosaur park, gardens, woodland walks, story trails, and a medieval village.

Full details, including how to buy tickets for the three concerts, can be found on the Fonmon Castle website.
