Last night was a triumph! The first ever Harewood Music Concert was a tremendous success. Children at all levels, from those who have only recently started to those who have been learning for some years, played their instruments with confidence and skill.
Many of them were performing in front of people for the first time. We had a wonderful range of instruments; recorders, guitars, saxophones, pianos, clarinets, violins and some magnificent group and solo singing.
All of children performed brilliantly and parents and teachers alike were extremely proud of them.
We are hoping to add more photographs to this Blog in the near future. If you have any photos of any part of the concert, and are happy for them to be used, please e-mail them to

Our guides at Harewood were fantastic! They took us into the servants quarters and explained all the different jobs we would have had to have done if we'd been Lord Harewood's servants. The staff at Harewood were impressed with our questions and how much we knew about Victorian times, they also loved our costumes.
Other visitors to the house liked our costumes so much that they stopped to take photographs of us - it was a little bit like being famous! 
After our tour downstairs our guides let us have a sneaky peek at the state rooms above stairs. We were amazed by the difference - it was so colourful and beautifully decorated compared to the rooms downstairs. We even got to see the hidden door to the secret passsageway!
After the tour we took our picnic on the lawn in front of the house. Delicious! We then took a walk in the Victorian terrace and went to explore the ice house.
As a reward for our fantastic behaviour we ended the day on the adventure playground. A big thank you to everyone at Harewood for making our day such a memorable experience!
The girls are ready for their duties in the kitchens.
This smart gentleman found a generous slice of Victoria sponge in his packed lunch! 
It was a little too much for our artful dodger.
