Trevor Beale started the wonderful tradition of Concerts at West Lodge Park in 1974, and the season of concerts each year has continued ever since for fifty years.
The format is simple – enjoy good food, fine wine and high quality classical music in beautiful and civilised surroundings. Each evening starts with a sparkling wine and canapés reception at 7pm, followed by a set starter and main course served in our Mary Beale restaurant.
We then move to the delightful Lancaster Room for the first half of the concert before going back to our tables for dessert, liqueurs and coffee. The second half of the concert takes place back in the Lancaster room. The evening finishes with tea with the musicians in the lounge at around 11pm.
What is particularly special about the concerts at West Lodge Park is the ability to enjoy top artists from the classical world in such an intimate setting rather than in a huge concert hall. This salon setting is how musicians would have performed in the seventeenth century.
Come along to a concert at West Lodge Park some time and enjoy a wonderful evening out. Better still, book one of our beautiful bedrooms for the night, with privileged rates for all attending the concert, and look forward to falling straight into bed at the end of the evening rather than facing the M25!
