A CONCERT will be held at one of the county’s most eye-catching locations.
The Real Flower Petal Confetti Company’s field will play host to a first-of-its-kind classical concert this summer.
The field, at the Wyke Manor Estate, is home to millions of flowers which create a sea of colour when they come into bloom.
Opening for just a few days each year, the attraction is always in-demand with tickets often selling out.
This concert, on July 6, will provide visitors with another opportunity to visit the stunning location.
Manager Sally Young said: “We are very excited to confirm a brand-new event in the confetti fields.
“We can now offer you the opportunity to join us for a summer evening in The Confetti Flower Field.
“It’s sure to be a wonderful experience!"

Guests are invited to dress in their finery, pack a picnic and enjoy a performance by Armonico Consort.
A team of five singers and seven instrumentalists will be performing Henry Purcell’s opera, Dido and Aeneas.
Dido and Aeneas is described as an “epic tragedy of a queen, a soldier, and an illicit love”.
It will be performed with minimal staging, against the beautiful backdrop of the Worcestershire countryside and the colourful flowers.
Admission to the concert will be limited and tickets are on sale now and available at The Real Flower Petal Confetti website.
The fields themselves are expected to open from June 30 until July 9, with general admission tickets set to go on sale about a week beforehand.
Manager Sally Young said: “We are thrilled with the response we've had from our open dates release - there seems to be lots of excitement out there to see the flowers.
“The little plants are growing well, and we’re hopeful that they will be tall and beautiful this summer.
“We are planning to put tickets on sale on June 20, when we are sure the flowers are on track.”
After the field closes to visitors, the flowers will be used to make natural confetti.
The bespoke service has been used by various celebrities including Madonna and Guy Ritchie and Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas.
Prince Harry also chose the firm’s pale pink delphinium confetti to throw over Prince Charles and Camilla at their wedding in 2005.
