Hertford Castle Live Music Event

For one year only, Rock at the Castle will make way for the new Hertford Castle Live Music event 2021.

Hertford Town Council will not be hosting Rock at the Castle this year. A decision has been made to postpone the event until we can be confident that we can bring the well-known and highly popular Rock at the Castle event to you in a safe and secure way.

Instead, for 2021, we are bringing you a new Live Music Event at Hertford Castle. Guests can sit back and relax on the Main Castle Lawn and enjoy a variety of live music from local musicians, with the beautiful backdrop of the castle on a summer day.

Gates open at 12pm. Music will run from 12:30pm – 7pm.

This event will be free to attend. 

BOOKING - FULLY BOOKED

This event is extremely popular. If you have booked tickets and can no longer attend, please email events@hertford.gov.uk so we can offer your tickets to someone else.
