What an amazing evening at the Friends of Milton Mausoleum’s Summer Celebrations Concert on 21st June. Oliver Harris entertained with music from many genres at this sell out event on a beautiful evening. A welcome glass of fizz greeted guests, with canapés and wine on the lawn at the interval and a generous raffle as well as time to socialise. Thank you to everyone for their support and to those who helped to make the evening a success.
