Penshurst Place Kent
Performance
to be staged inside
The Barons' Hall
Set in the rural Weald of Kent surrounded by picturesque countryside and ancient parkland, Penshurst Place and Gardens has changed little over the centuries. This mediaeval masterpiece has been the seat of the Sidney family since 1552 and retains the warmth and character of a much-loved family home. Today, Philip Sidney, Viscount De L'Isle, continues the family guardianship of this wonderful old house and garden with his wife Isobel and their two children, Philip and Sophia.
At the heart of the mediaeval manor house lies the Barons' Hall with its awe-inspiring 60 foot high chestnut roof, supported by satirical representations of peasants and estate workers of the time. This magnificent and atmospheric setting offers the perfect venues for Candlelight Opera's beautifully costumed performances. At Penshurst Place, audience are offered the opportunity to enjoy a Summer picnic before the performance, safe in the knowledge that should the English weather be a little unpredictable, they are able to take their seats inside the Barons' Hall for the evening's performance.
