Join us for the 24th annual Hatfield Park Battle Proms!
This year, we commemorate the 80th anniversary of VE Day with a vintage spectacular, featuring stunning displays, uplifting live music, dazzling fireworks, Spitfire flyovers, cannons, cavalry, and parachutes.
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the glamour of the 1940s with the harmonious melodies of the Battle Proms Belles and their live band. Swing enthusiasts can also delight in the fabulous moves of the Victory Swing dancers.
Explore the fascinating WWII living history displays around the arena, where vintage vehicles, memorabilia, and expert re-enactors bring the past to life. It’s a unique opportunity to mark this special anniversary year.
The evening’s orchestral programme promises to captivate, with iconic pieces from film, TV, and musicals alongside uplifting classical works. Highlights include Holst’s Jupiter accompanied by a breathtaking aerial display from the legendary Grace Spitfire, the 1812 Overture, and Beethoven’s Battle Symphony with 200 live-firing cannons. The programme also features themes from The Great Escape and 633 Squadron, operatic performances by soprano Denise Leigh, and a jubilant, flag-waving finale with Proms favourites such as Jerusalem, Rule, Britannia!, and Land of Hope and Glory—all set against a backdrop of spectacular fireworks.
