Spitfire is due to display.
The Battle Proms Concerts have been running since 1997 and attract 40,000 visitors every year.
This longest running 'picnic proms' series features a 2-hour orchestral programme within the unique atmosphere of stately homes in Lincolnshire, Warwickshire, Hampshire, Hertfordshire and Herefordshire.
