Luton Rising presents Proms in the Park Luton

To celebrate Luton’s 150th anniversary of first becoming a borough back in 1876, we are hosting a massive live orchestral concert! This orchestra is made up of the talent from across Luton, some of whom have moved on, but many of them still live in our beloved town.

This event has been made possible through headline sponsorship by Luton Council’s airport company, Luton Rising.

Luton Council wants as many people as possible to be able to enjoy this event, so we’ve kept the ticket costs as low as possible.
