Country at the Castle

Saturday 30th May

Great ready to for a boot-stompin’, sing-along kind of night! Country at the Castle is a brand-new music event which brings together the most iconic and inspiring country music from across the decades.

Performed by renowned country music talent, Rory O’Neill, Country at the Castle will showcase hits from seminal artists such as Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Tom McGraw, Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, Luke Combs, and Lainey Wilson.

Rory and his brilliant band celebrate the very heart of country music – authentic sound, powerful storytelling, and a sense of community. As a Northamptonshire based country music artist, whose work is rooted in the storytelling traditions and musical lineage of country music, Rory’s repertoire has been shaped by both British live performance culture and the heritage of Nashville songwriting. Rory is part of a growing generation of artists helping to establish a confident, authentic country music voice in the UK.


Gates open at 5.30pm and the show starts at 7.00pm.

Light refreshments and street food options will be available.

Please bring your own blankets or low-backed seating. Picnics are welcome. Please just tidy up after yourself, either taking rubbish with you, or using the bins provided.

Outdoor performances will continue in all but the worst weather. Check the forecast and dress accordingly.

All tickets are non-refundable.

In the event of cancellation due to exceptionally bad weather, or other extenuating circumstances, Rockingham Castle will contact ticket holders regarding alternative arrangements.

Registered carers can accompany a visitor on a carers ticket. Please email estateoffice@rockinghamcastle.com with your booking confirmation email for your paid for ticket, along with evidence of carer status. An additional carer ticket will then be added to your order.
