This year marks the bicentenaries of the births of Queen Victoria, a keen pianist, and of her husband Prince Albert, who together visited Stowe in 1845, staying for three days, Victoria practised Mendelssohn’s music on a ‘horizontal’  piano there – a grand.  The video below re-enacts their visit:

You too can follow her footsteps, practise the piano, and enjoy the beauties of this wonderful building and the grounds at Stowe.  There is currently one place left on our course – scroll down for details and book your place today!
