AL F RESCO ARTS
There’s a busy calendar of outdoor events coming up in the stunning gardens of Audley End House, just outside Saffron Walden. Music on a Sunday will see live ensembles providing a soundtrack to summer frolicking on selected weekends (the next dates for your diary are 7 and 21 July), while The Luna Cinema returns from 5 to 7 July with three nights of feel-good films, a full bar and hot food available on site. Up this time are The Greatest Showman , Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again , and Bohemian Rhapsody . The glorious Heritage Live Concert Series, organised by Giles Cooper Entertainment, is also back between 12 and 14 July, with an array of A-list acts. While you relax and soak up the splendour of this Jacobean mansion and its beautiful gardens, you’ll be treated to live music from legendary performers including The Human League, synth-pop heroes ABC, indie poppers The Hives and The Fratellis, plus The Jacksons, Boney M and Kool & The Gang. english-heritage.org.uk EVENTS AT AUDLEY END
SOUNDS GREEN
As far as settings for a concert go, they don’t come more lovely than the Cambridge University Botanic Gardens, which welcomes back its Sounds Green series this July. From Senegalese salsa to classic jazz, all kinds of music is filling the gardens this summer, with visitors encouraged to pack a picnic and relax as dusk falls. The concerts take place each Wednesday in July, with music lasting around an hour, starting from 6.15pm, and there will be a bar from Thirsty plus Jack’s Gelato ice cream and street food from the likes of Pull Me Cheri. Up first, on 3 July, are Afro Tema, who bring beats from the streets of Senegal, followed on the 10th by Martin Kemp’s Organised Chaos, with a set of swing and jazz standards from the 1930s to the present. On 17 July, it’s over to Truly Medley Deeply for an exciting hybrid of live band, DJ and jukebox, before Ruth Applin and Josh Kemp Quartet take to the stage on the 31st for a selection of classics from the Great American Songbook and singers such as Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. Due to popularity, the Sounds Green events are ticketed this year for the first time, though walk-ups might also be available. botanic.cam.ac.uk
