Concerts

Dillington House has been bringing internationally renowned musicians to the west country since the 1960s. Early visitors included Dame Janet Baker, Peter Pears, Bernard Roberts, Mitsuko Uchida, Jacqueline du Pré, Julian Bream and the Amadeus Quartet. More recent artistes have included Paul Lewis, Bernard d'Ascoli, The Wihan String Quartet, The Sacconi String Quartet, The Pavao String Quartet, Ian Bostridge, Elizabeth Watts, Jack Liebeck and Charles Owen.

The theatre was created from the old coach house in 1962 but was completely rebuilt in 1993. The theatre has excellent acoustics and sightlines and its size is just perfect for the performance of chamber music and other small-scale performances.

There is a very popular festive concert in December and around mid-summer a jazz concert makes the most of the long summer evening. Every August Dillington is host to a classical guitar festival.

"In the many years we have been coming to Dillington House it has proved to be an outstanding venue with a wonderful ambience for chamber music."
