The concert series Music in the Gardens is a major fundraiser for the Rotary Clubs of South Yorkshire, pulling in more than £400,000 for local, national and international charities and projects over a period of 15 years.
This year’s Rock, Pop and Classics in the Gardens, which should have taken place over July 3-5, have been postponed to 2022. Details at https://www.musicinthegardens.co.uk/
Art in the Gardens takes place in September, when the whole gardens are turned into one huge art gallery. This year’s event is due to take place on September 5-6.
