IF YOU'RE Looking for a Friday night with a difference then head to Dyffryn Gardens with a bottle of bubbly, a picnic and hear some live music under the evening summer sun.

Spend your evening in the enormous gardens, with 55 acres to explore you can keep busy discovering all the nooks and crannies of the gardens or pick a beautiful spot and simply relax. The gardens will be looking at their best in June and July so come and enjoy the longer summer evenings after a busy day at work.

An a cappella choir will be singing on each of the nights to provide you with musical accompaniment. Bring a bottle of bubbly and a picnic and enjoy your dinner al fresco whilst being serenaded from 6.30pm.

On June 24 Saint Donats Atlantic Chorale will be singing from their repertoire of madrigals, folk songs and show tunes and on July 8 the Spectrum Singers will be performing some of the best known songs from a wide array of famous film titles.

After the performance you can discover the intimate garden rooms, formal lawns, tropical glasshouse and two kitchen gardens, to name just a few of the highlights at Dyffryn.

The gardens are open until 8pm on Late Night Fridays with last entry at 7pm. Refreshments will be available from the garden kiosk.
