Musical stars set for outdoor concert at Glastonbury Abbey in August

A host of musical stars will perform at an outdoor concert later this month.

One Enchanted Evening will take place at Glastonbury Abbey on August 30 from 6:15PM.

Those appearing on the line up are Evelyn Hoskins, Jess Michelmore, Corrine Priest, Jacob Fisher, Tim Bonser, Kody Mortimer, Harry Winchester, Lauren Hampton, Joanna Woodward and Leanne Cope.

Choreographer and director Andrew Wright has put the event together with help from Glastonbury Festival founder and organiser Michael Eavis and theatre producer Sir Cameron Mackintosh.

Wright said: “I had a crazy idea to mount an evening of music and dance by the people of Somerset for the people of Somerset. An evening of respite from the months we’ve endured.

“A night to thank every person who’s kept this brave county going through the most difficult time.

“On August 30th we will join together as a community and share a night to awaken our senses once again. Thank you to every artist, musician and creative team who have given their time to facilitate my crazy idea and who said yes. You’re amazing and inspiring. Without music, theatre and dance life would be a mistake.”

Tickets are priced £25 each and available online here.

Proceeds from the show will benefit League of Friends at Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton and Friends of Yeovil District Hospital and Somerset Community Foundation.
