A SUMMER of music in Longleat forest gets under way on Monday with a free concert at Center Parcs.

Music in the Forest includes performances by the National Symphony Orchestra, a Columbian five-piece band called Lema and jazz three-piece Hutchinson Hodges.

Wayne Matton, general manager of Longleat Forest, said: "We're very thrilled to be putting on such a variety of music at Center Parcs.

"The setting couldn't be more perfect, and listening to an hour of performance will be just another lovely way for our guests to relax on a warm summer's day."

The festival is a free concert for midweek guests on a break at Longleat Forest every Monday in June. For booking details ring 08705 200 300.
