The Leeds Castle Concert is thrilled to announce a delectable array of food and drink offerings at this year’s highly anticipated annual event on Saturday 13th July 2024. Set against the backdrop of the majestic 900-year-old Leeds Castle, this event promises not only world-class music but also an exceptional culinary experience for concertgoers.
Enjoy a fantastic afternoon’s programme of classical favourites, whilst cooling down in the sunshine with a delicious icy treat from Scoff & Sipp. Lookout for their beautiful Bedford CA ice cream van and try a delicious local soft whipped ice cream served in a finest quality waffle cone.
Picnics are a fabulous way to share the open-air concert experience with family and friends. Make your concert experience hassle free by pre-ordering a popular classic or vegan picnic hamper from the team at Hardings. Priced from £53 and designed to be shared between two, they feature quality ingredients chosen by a top team of chefs. Simply pre-order and pick up your hamper on the day from the tent next to the stage before finding your perfect spot on the Castle lawn to watch the concert from!
Each hamper includes: asparagus & feta tart with a rocket, fennel & carrot salad, sunblushed tomatoes, sourdough bread, grilled chicken, celeriac remoulade, potato salad, cos, onion & watercress salad, Caesar dressing, flatbread, English summer strawberries, Devon clotted cream, shortbread biscuits and chocolate brownie bites.
For something hot, try hand stretched pizzas freshly made by Rascals Pizza or smoked and homemade BBQ street food served by The BBQ Project from their lovingly restored 1957 Citroen H Van.
Drinks will be flowing from an exciting variety of vendors including tea and cakes from the Homely Food Hub, alcoholic choices from Hardings bar and teas, coffees and hot chocolate from Willobeans.
The Leeds Castle Concert wouldn’t be complete without a glass (or jug!) of chilled Pimms and a selfie at the big red Pimm’s Teapot. The Prosecco Pot will once again be open for a range of delicious cocktails, so why not treat yourself to a ‘Cheeky Bucks Fizz’ or Aperol Spritz.
We are committed to making the Leeds Castle Concert as sustainable as possible. All food and drink containers and utensils provided will be eco-friendly and biodegradable where possible.
The Leeds Castle Concert is more than just a musical event; it’s an experience for all the senses. We invite you to indulge in the finest food and drink while enjoying a night of spectacular performances in a breathtaking setting.
