Three spectacular concerts are headed for the stunning grounds of Ripley Castle on 20-22 August.

Audiences can enjoy an evening of internationally renowned tribute performances from their own designated picnic patch - for two, four or six people - which will be socially distanced from others but close enough to share the fun.

What's more, the patches are pre-distributed - so there's no need to arrive hours early to mark your spot, only to have someone stand in front of you at the last moment. Tickets start from the equivalent of £29.50 per person when you buy your patch.



Sounds in the Grounds at Ripley Castle features three concerts:


  • Friday 20 August: The Definitive Rat Pack featuring an uncannily accurate recreation of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr in a sublime evening of swing;

  • Saturday 21 August: A spectacular rock ‘n’ rollercoaster ride through four decades of the legendary Tina Turner’s greatest hits in One Night of Tina;

  • Sunday 22 August: Killer Queen, who recreate the iconic songs and showmanship of one of the greatest ever rock bands with such electrifying precision audiences may wonder if they’re back in the 80s at a real Queen performance.


Glastonbury favourite The New York Brass Band will get all three parties started as the support act to each concert, performing a different repertoire every night - from jazz to 80s to current hits.



Audiences are advised to bring their own chairs and picnics, or purchase food and drink on site from one of the vendors - including the Yorkshire Bus Bar.

Organiser James Cundall said:

“I’m delighted that after the success of Sounds in the Grounds last summer, we are back! These picnic concerts are a great opportunity to get together and enjoy a fun night of live music in a stunning setting in a socially distanced way. From the glorious iconic songs of Sinatra to the rock classics of Tina Turner and Queen, I hope we have something for everyone.”
“Importantly it’s an opportunity for both musicians and crew to showcase their talent again after months of inactivity during these difficult times.”
“Our picnic patch concept enables patrons to pre-book their own designated space, thereby eliminating that mad scramble for the best site which often mars an outdoor concert! Our audiences can turn up when it suits them and know they will have a safe and fun evening.”
