The afternoon will continue with a performance from The Danny Lee Band at 1.15pm. The band, which has performed at the renowned Edinburgh Festival, will present a mixture of rock and party classics from 1960s to the present day.
Finishing the programme, from 3pm – 5pm, the renowned Hart Male Voice Choir will sing a variety of classical male voice songs and being American Independence Day, these will include a number of American songs.
A refreshment marquee will be on site which will provide the audience with the opportunity to purchase lunch and enjoy a leisurely picnic in the Meadow. The Blue Bell Public House at Dockenfield will be providing a delicious hog roast, homemade burgers, hot dogs and alcoholic beverages, whilst Woodlarks Trust will be providing a Charity Tea Tent of cakes and biscuits and hot and cold soft drinks.
Plus, if adverse weather is forecast, the marquee will provide substantial cover against the elements!
