More than 400 guests spent a magical summer's evening at Hergest Croft, Kington, by kind invitation of Lawrence and Liz Banks, to listen to Mozart's Cos fan tutte, performed by The Garden Opera Company. The evening was supported for the sixth year by South Hereford Audi and in aid of Hereford Cathedral Perpetual Trust.
