Festival of Spanish Music and Dance
This April, we’re delighted to once again be hosting a season of Spanish work at The Horton, welcoming back celebrated artists from Spain for a series of intimate concerts and performances.
Our fourth annual Spanish Season will be a celebration of Spanish classical music and dance. A tribute to Spanish dance prodigy, Felix García, banished to Horton Asylum in 1919 and buried in Horton Cemetery.
Running on Friday 18th April and Saturday 19th April, this is a great chance to see award-winning Spanish performers up close.
