The striking setting of Castle Cornet will again host a series of summer evenings full of musical entertainment when KPMG Castle Nights gets underway in July.
Four evenings are scheduled this year on Friday 12th, 19th, 26th July, & 2nd August between 6pm and 9pm.
The event has become a staple of the summer season, and thanks to the renewed sponsorship of KPMG, attendees can enjoy the relaxed summer evening of entertainment free of charge. The evenings provide a platform for over 150 musicians each year and boasts a fantastic mix of styles from choral groups to DJs.
Bring your picnic along or taste some of the fantastic refreshments on site, and enjoy an evening where everyone can discover something new.
The Castle provides the beautiful and historic backdrop for a wide range of musical genres, with the Islands talented local musicians performing throughout the castle grounds. Guernsey Arts are organising the musical entertainment, working in partnership with Guernsey Museums.
Russ Fossey, from Guernsey Arts said: “Guernsey Arts are thrilled to continue our relationship with KPMG and Heritage through arranging the musical lines up for these very special evenings. KPMG Castle Nights are the perfect way to celebrate the wonderful and eclectic talent we have on Island. These free events are a key part of the summer for many people, and this is only possible through the support of KPMG”.
Helen Glencross Head of Heritage said: “Guernsey Museums are delighted to host KPMG Castle Nights again this year. We would like to sincerely thank KPMG for their ongoing support of this wonderful free and unique event at Castle Cornet. Their generosity enables thousands of people to enjoy local music in this spectacular, historic setting.”
Tony Mancini, KPMG Guernsey Office Lead said: “We’ve been a part of the community in Guernsey for over 100 years and we are delighted to be able to support Castle Nights. It’s a unique evening, listening to local musicians around the grounds of an iconic and historic venue, free for everyone and fun for the whole family. They are events not to be missed!”
