A much-loved event is set to return for an evening of music beside an iconic aircraft at Southend Airport.
Proms at the Vulcan will take place on Saturday, July 4, featuring an evening of music performed by the Essex Concert Orchestra in front of the historic Vulcan XL426.
The concert will feature a programme of popular and classical music performed inside the Vulcan Restoration Trust hangar at London Southend Airport.
The event is a fundraiser for the Vulcan Restoration Trust.
Gates will open at 5.30pm, with the concert beginning at 7pm and concluding at 9.30pm.
Attendees are advised to bring their own chairs, as none will be provided at the venue.
Refreshments, including food and drinks, will be available for purchase, though guests are welcome to bring their own picnics.
A licensed bar will be open throughout the evening, and souvenirs will be available from the Hangar Shop.
Organisers have announced that advance tickets are now on sale.
Proms at the Vulcan has sold out for the past four years, so early booking is encouraged.
Tickets are priced at £26 for adults and £18 for under-16s, excluding booking fees.
All attendees will receive full event details prior to the concert.
Organisers have stated that no pets or animals will be permitted, except for assistance dogs.
Ticket refunds are available up to seven days before the event, but not afterwards unless the event is cancelled.
The orchestra, led by conductor Malcolm Hiscock, is made up of around 70 musicians from across Essex and regularly supports charities including the RNLI and Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity.
Wendy Brennan, a soloist who first performed with Rayleigh Choral Society, will return for the event.
Other than her stage performances, Ms Brennan has also recorded music for television drama series.
Organisers said the combination of music, atmosphere, and the Vulcan bomber at sunset creates a memorable evening.
The orchestra includes professional musicians, students from leading music colleges in London and Essex, and local music teachers.
