A magical midsummer's evening of opera is coming to the Confetti Flower Fields.
Armonico Consort is bringing its reimagined production of Purcell's King Arthur to the venue in Wick, near Pershore, promising an open-air performance with a backdrop of blooming flowers.
Narrated by renowned wine expert and former actor Oz Clarke as Merlin, with a newly written script by William Towers, the legendary tale of King Arthur is retold with warmth, wit, and imagination, seamlessly interwoven with Purcell’s glorious music.
Renowned for their passionate performances and innovative programming, Armonico Consort is a critically acclaimed choir, instrumental ensemble, and music charity.
Founded in 2001 by Christopher Monks, the ensemble has built a reputation for bringing Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces to life in fresh and engaging ways.
Alongside their world-class singers and period instrument players, Armonico Consort aims to inspire through music — championing young performers, creating imaginative concert experiences, and using the transformative power of music to support people living with dementia.
Guests are invited to arrive early to enjoy the Confetti Flower Fields in full bloom, stroll among the flowers, capture photographs in the evening light, and enjoy a selection of sweet and savoury hot food stalls, a licensed bar, and a ride on the Ferris wheel for spectacular views.
Purcell’s King Arthur at the Confetti Flower Fields is on Thursday, June 25. Gates open at 6pm and the performance starts at 7.30pm. The evening is expected to wrap up around 10pm.
Tickets are £45 each and include entrance to the Confetti Flower Fields.
Guests are encouraged to bring their own folding chairs or picnic rugs for seating and to dress appropriately for outdoor conditions.
Warm clothing, blankets, and torches are also recommended.
The Real Flower Petal Confetti Company has been growing flowers to become wedding confetti since 1997 and are the UK’s original confetti farm.
The petals are handpicked and naturally dried, making them 100 per cent biodegradable and extremely eco-friendly.
They have been used at hundreds of thousands of weddings including that of King Charles and Queen Camilla and can be bought all year round.
