Description

Every summer, dozens of country houses open their gates for festival-goers, with a huge array of different events hosted within the grounds of our most cherished estates. Off the back of our recent episodes on 'Capability' Brown and Vache Baroque Festival, we have chosen this week to dedicate an entire episode to festivals held on country estates, where fabulous houses provide the most beautiful of backdrops.

In this light-hearted episode, Rory takes Geoff on a tour of different types of country house festivals - from the Game Fair at Ragley Hall and motor racing at Goodwood, to Badminton Horse Trials and The Grange Opera Festival.

Please join us, and if you enjoy this episode please like it and write us a review. Please also send in questions for our soon-to-be-resurrected Q&A episodes!
