Lacock prepares for Proms and jazz
7:00am Friday 4th July 2008
LACOCK Abbey will be a hive of activity this weekend as it hosts a Proms and jazz festival.
Concert organiser Tony Longstaff, of Easternbreeze, is making final preparations for the Proms event tomorrow night and the All That Jazz festival on Sunday.
The London Gala Orchestra will be providing the music at the Proms event, which attracts thousands of music lovers annually.
Gates open at 6pm with a laser show lighting up the sky from 10pm.
The jazz festival opens at 5.30pm on Sunday and includes the likes of Kenny Ball, Acker Bilk and Terry Lightfoot.
Entertainment will also come in the form of the dancing robots from the Citroen adverts.
Mr Longstaff has been organising concerts for Easternbreeze for the past six years.
He said: "So far everything has gone smoothly and the weather is looking nice for the weekend so it should be really good after overcoming last year's soggy weather.
"As the ground is dry this year everything is going to plan.
"I love seeing families and friends sitting and chatting and having a fantastic time."
Tickets for both events are still available by calling Easternbreeze on 0870 842 2230.
