Presented by live music promoters Cuffe and Taylor, Summer House Sounds is about bringing music to the people in unique and beautiful locations.

Director Peter Taylor said: “We fully understand that when it comes to England reaching the semi-finals of the World Cup people feel torn if they have other plans.

“Therefore, we’ve decided it is only right to show the big game on our stage screens so everyone who is attending the Nile Rodgers & CHIC show can still see England perform too.

“There are tickets available and we would urge England fans to come along and see the game before enjoying a fantastic night of live music from one of the coolest musicians and live acts around.”
