Powderham Castle enjoys a unique, picturesque setting within an ancient deer park beside the Exe estuary, just south of Exeter. Over 600 years of history can be discovered within the walls of one of Devon's oldest family homes. Powderham came to the Courtenay family in the dowry of Edward I’s granddaughter, and her son, Sir Philip Courtenay, began building the Castle in 1391. It has remained in the family to this day, and recently became home to the new Earl & Countess of Devon, the 28th generation to move in. The magical setting and convenient location makes Powderham the perfect venue for this special event
The A Capella Group – Amamus Cantare will present an evening of madrigals, catches, and glees, including the ever popular ‘Silver Swan’ by Gibbons; ‘My Bonny Lass she Smileth’ by Morley and some of Purcell’s finest items of humorous ‘musical gossip’!
