Kenilworth Fringe Festival is putting on a classical summer concert at Kenilworth Castle on Friday (June 19).

A community classical concert will be held in the grounds of the spectacular medieval fortress from 5.10pm to 8.30pm.

The weather forecast for Friday is good and concert-goers can take a picnic to enjoy while they enjoy the performance.

The show features internationally recognised musicians across the evening, including the popular Abbey Quartet musicians Jeremy Sampson and Barbara O'Reilly (violins), Isobel Adams (viola), Peter Wilson (cello) and mezzo soprano Samantha Oxborough, performing a varied programme.

Kenilworth Fringe Festival organiser Rebecca Warwick, chair of Kenilworth Chamber of Trade, said: "We are already planning a great second Fringe Festival for next February, but interest has been so strong since the first ever festival a couple of months ago that we wanted to stage some events between the main events.

"The classical music elements of our first Fringe Festival were very popular and we have been fortunate to secure the amazing venue of Kenilworth Castle, so combining these talented musicians and the setting into a wonderful summer concert seemed like a great idea."

Tickets are available at £35 each from the Kenilworth Chamber of trade website or £45 on the door.

A bottle bar will be in operation with some snacks available subject to availability.
