One of the county's biggest summertime events has been rescheduled following the Government announcement of a four-week delay to lifting restrictions.

“We’ll meet again” is the message from the organisers of the Leeds Castle Concert, which had been due to take place on Saturday, July 10.

As a result of the change announced by Boris Johnson on Monday, organisers have decided to reschedule the huge event which attracts thousands to Leeds Castle near Maidstone to Saturday, September 4.

They are working closely with castle managers to rearrange the concert, sponsored by headline sponsor Brachers, featuring the world-class Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Many ticket holders have had their tickets for over a year following the event having to be cancelled in 2020 due to Covid-19.

Tickets already purchased are automatically valid for the new September date.

Tickets remain on sale for the new date. For those unable to attend can email enquiry@heritage-events.co.uk.

Picnic tickets cost £53 per person. To book and find out more go to leedscastleconcert.co.uk
