No booking fee. You will receive your tickets immediately by email.

Gates open 6:00pm.

The band will be "Shades of Simon", a refreshingly new 5-piece band presenting their acclaimed 2 hour theatre style show in tribute to Paul Simon as one of the best songwriters and performers of his generation.  With an engaging narration, exceptional musicianship and authentic renditions of the best of his songs from Simon & Garfunkel through to Graceland, this is a show that appeals to all generations...

The performance will include early Simon & Garfunkel hits that have endured the test of time like The Sound of Silence, Mrs Robinson and Bridge Over Troubled Water, followed by a selection from his early solo catalogue including the classic Still Crazy After All These Years, before ending with the infectious South African rhythms of Paul Simon’s Graceland tour in the 80’s and his biggest solo success,You Can Call Me Al.

The concert will be held in the gardens at the National Trust Flatford Mill adjoining the River Stour against the backdrop of the wonderful 18th Century Old Granary building.

It is suggested people bring their own picnic food and drink plus garden chairs or rugs. In addition, the National Trust cafe will be open for tea, coffee and snacks and bottled alcoholic drinks.  Toilet facilities.

Please do not bring dogs, it is not a suitable environment for them, or for babies & young children. Any children must be closely supervised at all times and kept well away from the river.

The concert should finish around 9:30pm.  It'll just be getting dark by then so we recommend you bring a torch!

Free parking available in the National Trust car park approx 200 yards from the Gardens (after 5pm)
