Robin Hill to host Osborne Proms '25 in new venue switch
THIS year's Osborne Proms has been moved to a new venue. The popular open-air concert will no longer be held at Osborne House, due to "unforeseen circumstances". Instead, Osborne Proms '25 will take place at Robin Hill Adventure Park on the original arranged date of July 26. Despite the change, organisers are looking forward to an "unforgettable evening of music" at the new venue. Paul Cox, event director, said: "We're thrilled to host Proms '25 at Robin Hill, a beloved Island venue, which offers the perfect backdrop for a summer evening of Proms and picnicking. "The support we've received from the Robin Hill team has been second to none, and I'm delighted to partner with them on this event." For more event information follow this LINK. Ticket holders are asked to direct requests to info@ The concert will feature the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, who will perform a selection of Proms classics, from Elgar to Tchaikovsky. The Isle of Wight's Thea Callaghan, a talented soprano, together with the Medina Community Choir, fresh from their appearance at New York's Carnegie Hall, will also perform.

"It will be a joy to welcome the renowned Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, along with classical music enthusiasts from near and far, for what promises to be an unforgettable celebration of music in a beautiful setting." All existing ticket and hamper bookings will be automatically transferred to the new venue. For those who cannot attend the new location, full refunds are available upon request.
