Summer Concerts Return to Hillsborough Castle & Gardens – June 2026
Following the overwhelming success of last year’s sold-out series, Peter Corry Productions is delighted to announce that the much-loved Summer Concerts will return to Hillsborough Castle and Gardens from 26–28 June 2026.
This vibrant three-day musical celebration will once again transform the historic estate into a spectacular open-air stage, offering visitors unforgettable evenings of world-class entertainment.
A Weekend of Music, Style and Spectacle
Kicking off the festival, internationally acclaimed performers The Celtic Tenors will present “Ceili at the Castle”, blending their signature mix of opera, classical, Irish traditional and contemporary music. In true Hillsborough fashion, guests are invited to don their finest frocks and step into the world of “Hillsboroughton”, complete with glamour, mischief and a hint of royal elegance.
Special guests Clare McCollum and West End leading man Norman Bowman will join the Tenors, promising a musical line-up even the Queen herself could not turn down. Returning by popular demand, the much-anticipated “Diamond of the Evening” best-dressed competition will once again crown the most stylish attendee.
Meanwhile, society gossip-monger Lady Pickledown will be on hand to keep audiences entertained with all the latest scandals from the season.
A Grand Musical Finale
For those who love a show tune, the weekend will conclude with “Thank You for the Musicals II: From Hollywood to Broadway”, performed by Northern Ireland’s own Peter Corry. Guests can look forward to a sweeping musical journey featuring beloved classics from Mary Poppins, Grease, Evita, The Lion King, and many more iconic productions.
