Acker returns to Hever by popular demand, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of his worldwide hit 'Stranger on the Shore'. The track was the first-ever single to be Number One simultaneously in both the UK and US, remaining for 55 weeks as Number 1 in the UK in 1962, and was the biggest-selling single of the year.

Since that time Acker and his Paramount Jazz Band have firmly established themselves as one of the most successful and best loved British jazz bands of all time.

Description

The Theatre is located on the delightful Two Sisters Lawn in the award winning gardens of Hever Castle in Kent, adjacent to the legendary Anne Boleyn Walk – the Castle was originally the home of the Boleyn family. The lawn is surrounded by some delightful flower beds including the famous ‘long border’ and an abundance of ornamental trees; it also contains the picturesque Two Sisters pond (and grotto) and a magnificent Tulip Tree.

As well as being a visual delight, the setting provides a natural auditorium with easy access to the theatre car park and the lakeside for those who prefer to picnic in view of the lake. For the others, the lawn itself provides a convenient and relaxing spot for that preshow picnic.

Additional Information:
All evening performances start at 8pm unless otherwise stated. The castle gates open at 6.30pm for pre theatre picnics. Matinee performances start at 2.30pm and the gates open at 2pm.
