One of the most popular events in the borough’s cultural calendar, the Langtons Summer Concert, will take place on Sunday 7 June and is free to all residents. The annual event, which last year attracted around 3,000 people to Langtons Gardens, will celebrate 80 years since Havering Council acquired the gardens of Langtons House from Elizabeth Varco Parkes in 1929.

In celebration of this anniversary, guests are invited to put on their best 1920s style fancy dress, and there will be a prize for the best costume in two categories, adults and children, presented by the Mayor of Havering.

The concert is performed by the Westminster Philharmonic Orchestra who will bring the sound of the 1920s to life with the help of long standing musical director Jonathan Butcher.

The concert starts at 3pm and visitors are invited to bring along a picnic.

Best wishes,

Michael
