Lytham Hall Proms Weekend 2026

A Classical Finale for Day Two of Lytham Hall Proms Weekend 2026

Following Saturday’s colourful journey through the 80s and 90s, Day Two of Lytham Hall Proms Weekend changes the tempo for an afternoon of beautiful voices, stirring harmonies and plenty of traditional Proms atmosphere.

Taking place on Sunday 30 August 2026, the second concert will be headlined by Welsh singer and broadcaster Aled Jones. With more than four decades in the spotlight, performances at some of the world’s most prestigious venues and over ten million album sales, he should feel perfectly at home performing against the rather magnificent backdrop of Lytham Hall.

And yes, many of us may still immediately think of Walking in the Air. It’s impossible not to—but his career has travelled considerably further than one snowy animated flight!

A wonderfully varied afternoon of music

Joining Aled will be rising Lancashire pop-country singer Amy Jo, bringing a more contemporary country sound to the Proms stage.

There will also be fabulous vintage-style harmonies from The Bluebirds. This talented retro vocal trio brings together the glamour and musical style of a bygone era, making them a particularly good match for the elegant surroundings of the Hall.

The programme also features Jess Camilleri and Verity Walker, together with a special Tribute to the Nations from Tom Collins.

Bringing the entire weekend to a suitably grand conclusion will be the award-winning mezzo-soprano Danielle Louise Thomas, often described as the Voice of Liverpool. Having performed at royal occasions and appeared on the BBC, Danielle will provide the all-important Proms finale—with soaring vocals, patriotic favourites and, we suspect, more than a few flags being waved enthusiastically across the lawn.

The afternoon will once again be hosted by popular BBC Radio Lancashire presenter Graham Liver, who can always be relied upon to keep proceedings moving with warmth, wit and just the right amount of Lancashire humour.

Picnics, music and a rather impressive backdrop

The stage will be positioned in front of Lytham Hall, facing the huge east lawn and creating a spectacular historic setting for the performances.

Ticket holders can enter the grounds from 1pm, giving everyone time to claim a spot and arrange their picnic before the music begins at 3pm. The concert is expected to finish at approximately 7.30pm, allowing the audience to leave the parkland before darkness falls.

Visitors are encouraged to bring their own food, drinks, picnic blankets, folding chairs and one small folding table. Strawberries and something sparkling would certainly fit the occasion nicely, although sandwiches, sausage rolls and a flask of tea will be treated with equal respect.

Just remember that umbrellas and gazebos are not permitted, as they could block the view of those sitting behind. This is Lancashire, however, so dressing for every possible season remains a sensible approach.

A fitting finale to Proms Weekend

While Saturday is all about pop, rock and musical nostalgia, Sunday promises something more traditional—but certainly no less entertaining.

With classical favourites, pop-country, vintage harmonies and a full Proms-style finale, it should be a wonderfully relaxed afternoon for families, friends and music lovers of all ages.

There’s also something rather special about spreading out a picnic in Lytham Hall’s historic parkland, listening to live music and watching the Hall provide one of the finest stage backdrops on the Fylde Coast. Even the most determinedly unpatriotic visitor may find themselves waving a flag before the final note.
