Each event is joined by a different special guest musician. The evening includes musical performances by the campfire, an ecological tour of the woods, and post-dinner tales of this majestic bird’s life, songs and folklore, culminating in the now-famous finale: a silent walk in the dark to hear our signature human-avian musical collaboration under the stars before returning to the campsite.</p><br><p>Tickets for Singing with Nightingales are available now<a href="https://www.singingwithnightingales.co.uk/tickets" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.singingwithnightingales.co.uk/tickets</a></p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
