The evening closed around 22:30PM with a spectacular firework display and gave audience members the opportunity to sing-along and wave their English flags in the air. Certainly, a feel-good experience.

Very much one for the older generation, I feel, with copious drafts of nostalgia from WW2. Venue and organisation were fine though I would advise arriving well after the gates have opened unless you want to be twiddling your thumbs in the car park for hours and then waiting a long time for the concert to actually start. Felt the cavalry display was rather pointless as it was difficult to see what was happening unless you had a ringside seat. The commentary on this display was less than scintillating too. Highlights were the Red Devils and the Spitfire display. Music was fine though the ladies singing WW2 classics were a little OTT. All in all, it was an OK experience hence the 3 star rating but rather too jingoistic in tone for my liking. Wouldn’t go again. Should mention that the weather was poor and I caught covid there too so possibly my views are coloured a little by these negative aspects! If you enjoy the Proms proper then you’ll probably like it…

This was my intro to live orchestral music and it didn't disappoint. It was neck tingling! The weather was fantastic which definitely helped and looking around at some of the other people I clearly need to learn how to picnic properly! There were a variety of performances; singers, calvary demo, sky divers, Spitfire fly-by and fireworks as well as the music. If you don't get good weather I think it would detract quite a lot from the experience. Would definitely do it again; just next time get there about 2 hours before the start is it got VERY packed VERY quickly.

We were bought a Battle Proms voucher as a present. We chose the Highclere Castle venue. THE best day. The concert was absolutely fabulous full of wonderful music and poignant reminders of those who have been lost in war. We stayed at Pilgrims Guest house 10 minutes drive from the castle. All in all THE most enjoyable day

This was a Christmas gift from our son. The whole experience was excellent. The activity superstore staff were brilliant and extremely efficient. Everything went without a hitch. The evening was spectacular, of course the marvellous weather helped but the Battle proms were unforgettable, especially the spitfire. The orchestra were superb. In fact everything was superb, truly a night to remember
