Mansion Concerts: Vivaldi Four Seasons

Set against Wakehurst's iconic Elizabethan Mansion and surrounding gardens, this is an open-air classical experience that brings the feel of a major city concert to a botanical setting. Bring a picnic and settle in under the sky to one of classical music's most recognised works performed with warmth, precision and expressive detail.
BBC Radio 3 presenter and BBC Proms host Ian Skelly introduces the performance, sharing insight into the music and its themes of nature and time, drawing on his book Harmony, co-authored with King Charles III and Tony Juniper.
