Nevill Holt Festival 

Held at the beautiful Nevill Holt Estate in Harborough District, this is Leicestershire’s answer to the Hay Literary Festival. Building on a decade of opera performances at the venue, the festival now includes classical music performance, concerts, conversations, performances, art exhibitions, family events and open gardens. From Cosi Fan Tutte to Prue Leith and top comedians and politicians taking to the stage, this is a three-week celebration of high culture like no other, right in the heart of the Leicestershire countryside.
