With rave reviews from all who’ve seen them, event organiser Rob Bryant is sure they’ll be a massive hit. He says:

The charity concert, performed on a massive covered event stage, gives ABBA fans old and new the opportunity to once again get together and re-live the addictive ABBA phenomena that swept the airwaves and discos during the 70’s and 80’s.
From Waterloo to Dancing Queen, all of the hits are performed with unrivalled authenticity, in a truly feel-good party style tribute concert - so folks are being urges to get their tickets early!
Gates open at 6pm for people to come early and picnic in the grounds or enjoy the thrills of Alfie Appleton’s famous family funfair.
A professional event DJ will be generating the atmosphere with a 70’s themed dico prior to the performance and during the interval.
Numerous hot food stands and licensed bars will provide plenty of food and refreshments throughout the night as ABBA Reunion complete two ‘live’ performances.
