Eynsford Concert Band is delighted to be invited back to Lullingstone Castle to help us celebrate the band’s 50th Anniversary.
The band was founded in 1972 by Robin O’Connell who lived at Lullingstone until his death in 1997. While the band didn’t perform at the castle often, many of the band’s members have very fond memories of band socials and “after concert” get-togethers in his apartments there.
Bring a picnic and join us for a great afternoon of music in this beautiful location. Enjoy a varied programme of music with something for all the family – from pop hits through musicals and movies to the classics. A Refreshments Tent will also be open, but please bring your own seating/blanket.
Your ticket also gets you entry to the famous ‘World Garden’ where you can see horticultural delights from around the world.

Cars and pedestrians (but not coaches) should continue on past Lullingstone Roman Villa (leaving the modern building that now covers the Villa on the right hand side) for 600 metres along the narrow Private Road towards the Gatehouse entrance. Outside the Gatehouse there is free car parking for our visitors ONLY. NB All cars should use the postcode DA4 0JA
Parking for the disabled will be reserved outside the main gate. There will be plenty of space for regular parking in the field opposite the Tudor Gate.

The nearest train station is Eynsford, and trains take approximately 50 minutes from central London. When you exit the train station turn left, and then when you reach the main road, turn left again and pass under the railway bridge. Do NOT follow signs for Lullingstone Roman Villa or Eynsford.
On the right hand side of the road before you reach the Lullingstone gated entrance (ROAD CURRENTLY CLOSED) take the turning onto the signed Green Public Footpath (opposite the recycling bank in the lay-by). Here you can walk via a rough track that brings you out at the Lullingstone Roman Villa. Turn left heading for Lullingstone’s Private Road leading up to the Gatehouse entrance. From Eynsford station to the Castle takes 10 – 15 minutes.
