The event, which is held in the 5,000 acre parkland of the Grade I listed Georgian mansion near Halesworth, will also see roots rock group The Vagaband and Southampton-based four-piece Black Cat Poppers take to the stage for a stellar line-up of live music & entertainment that goes on late into the evening.

The live music begins as soon as the gates open at 4.30 pm and the huge bonfire is lit at 4.45 pm whilst the spectacular fireworks display, once again by Full Effects Fireworks, takes place between 7 pm and 8 pm.

The LED Drummers, a magical live music, movement and lighting spectacular, will also perform during the evening.

“With a huge bonfire, spectacular fireworks plus lots of exciting live music & entertainment going on until late, this year’s show is set to make for a great Saturday night out,” said a spokesman for the organisers.

The event sees ALL proceeds raised going to local charities and the estate does not take any of its expenses, including the cost of the fireworks.

There is also a traditional funfair including dodgem cars and a large bar, plus fish & chips, hog roast, BBQ and a variety of other tasty local foods.

Gary Mullen and The Works’ One Night of Queen: In 2000, Gary Mullen won ITV’s ‘Stars In Their Eyes’ Live Grand Final, with the largest number of votes ever received in the show’s history. The record of 864,838 votes was more than twice that of the runner-up. Gary began touring on his own and in 2002 formed a band ‘The Works’, to pay tribute to rock legends Queen. Since May 2002, Gary Mullen and the Works have performed throughout the UK, USA, Europe, South Africa and New Zealand to sell-out audiences. The outfit have also twice rocked the prestigious BBC Proms in the Park, in front of a very enthusiastic crowd of 40,000. One Night of Queen is a spectacular live concert, recreating the look, sound, pomp and showmanship of arguably the greatest rock band of all time. This show will ROCK you!

The Vagaband: The Vagaband are a UK-based roots rock band. Equipped with an impressive and varied array of instrumentation (pedal-steel guitar, flugelhorn, mandolin, fiddle and clarinet all blend with unexpected ease) the band draw inspiration from both sides of the Atlantic to incorporate Americana, Celtic folk rock and vaudeville into a whole that gels into an unmistakable sound of their own. In 2013 they were listed in The Alternate Root’s poll of top 20 New Roots Bands of Europe. 2014 saw the release of their highly-praised second album ‘Medicine For The Soul’. In 2015, U.S. band Ween asked the band to remix material from their Chocolate & Cheese album, announcing the result as ‘genius’. Since then the band have signed a publishing deal with Wipe Out Music and have shared festival stages with the likes of The Handsome Family, Fairport Convention and Dodgy.

The Black Kat Boppers: Black Kat Boppers hail from down on the South Coast Water Way in Southampton and are 4 fellas who love to play hard boppin’, jump up, rockin’ blues, dance music. “With Black Kat Boppers you get to immerse yourselves in that rockin’ feelin’.

Collectively, when all brought together, Black Kat Boppers sound is authentic, sincere & unique.

LED Drummers: A magical live music, movement and lighting spectacular in which seven mysterious characters composed of light and sound transform the landscape around them. The cast take the audience on a colourful dreamlike journey combining high impact drumming, dynamic choreography and beautiful lighting design. The performers constantly shift the focal point of the show, interacting with and surrounding the audience so they feel immersed in the theatre which unfolds.
