Kenwood House

Kenwood House: a stately home that hosts indie rock bands

Kenwood House bucks the trend of stately homes by eschewing the traditional sedate activities and forms of entertainment offered at other venues of the sort. Instead, here you'll be able to catch indie rock bands in concert, disco legends in solo performance, and an excellent series of live concerts that feature different artists in a mini festival format. It makes for a superb place to watch live music, whether in the open air, in one of its many function rooms, or in a marquee pitched on the generous lawns during the long days of summer. It's a very appealing place to relax and offers a perfect mixture of country estate and modern music venue. You can buy or sell all the Kenwood House tickets you want on StubHub.

A stunning art collection and lakeside live music

Kenwood House is in Hampstead in London, at the northern edge of Hampstead Heath, and dates all the way back to the 17th century when the Earls of Mansfield began using it as their official residence. It passed into the hands of the Guinness family for a while, before being taken over by London County Council. This means that it's not strictly speaking an official stately home any more, but a rose by any other name, as they say. It's perhaps best known, and most visited, for its art collection, which you can view throughout the year on official tours of the place. Tickets for these tours are always in demand, particularly among tourists to the UK and art aficionados. A small sample of what the collection contains is all that's required to convey its awesome scope: Vermeer's "Guitar Player", a Rembrandt self-portrait, the "Portrait of Countess Howe" by Thomas Gainsborough, and portraits by Frans Hals. If you're an art lover then that will surely be enticement enough to get yourself some Kenwood House tickets. For those who prefer musical entertainment, take a look at the listings that can include the estate's famous Kenwood Lakeside Concerts. Previous performers have included disco and funk colossus Nile Rodgers, and more contemporary solo artists like David Rodigan and his Outlook Orchestra.

Exciting live gig series as a regular feature

Kenwood House has also become known as the host venue for the Heritage Live Concert Series. This has taken place here for a good few years. Previous headliners have been a virtual who's who of famous mainstream artists in the UK, including everyone's ska favourites, Madness, and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. Music fans have clearly always had a wide range of styles and genres to choose from at this venue, which is part of the reason why it has such wide appeal. You can rest assured that you'll never miss out on any of this with us - you can get all your Kenwood House tickets on StubHub whenever there's something attractive and exciting going on.
