Dearest Readers,
Perceptive Bristolians might recognise Leigh Court’s distinctive double-floating staircase in several of Bridgerton’s ballroom scenes. Now, another element of the hit series is making a connection with Southwest England, as a skilled ensemble takes the stage at the Church of All Saints for a Candlelight concert inspired by Bridgerton’s soundtrack. Like Leigh Court, All Saints is a Grade II-listed building, making it a fitting venue for an elegant soirée.
If you’d like to hear modern hits performed on strings, join the waitlist for exclusive presale access to tickets, available up to 24 hours before they go on sale on 7 November. From Pitbull’s “Give Me Everything” to Sia’s “Cheap Thrills,” this musical tribute to Shondaland’s Bridgerton—one of Netflix’s most-watched shows—promises to immerse fans in every scandalous detail, creating an unforgettable experience.
The Best of Bridgerton on Strings
If anyone is to divulge the circumstances of this Bridgerton-themed concert, it shall be me.
Viewers remember it all vividly—the Regency-era frocks, each season’s whirlwind love story, the highly anticipated calling hours, manicured lawns, judgemental members of the ton, and grand balls in sprawling mansions. Indeed, the world of Bridgerton is both sophisticated and ruthless, a captivating blend of duty, self-discovery, and ambition. All of this comes together splendidly at Candlelight x Bridgerton, where a string quartet performs the dramatic music that accompanies some of the series’ most unforgettable moments.
Hearing Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own” reimagined as a classical cover is sure to leave audiences in an electropop-inspired trance, recalling Miss Sharma and Viscount Bridgerton’s first dance. Meanwhile, Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy” perfectly channels the Duke of Hastings’ envy as he watches Daphne with another suitor.
Brought to life by a sea of candles and gifted musicians, the instrumental covers of the Bridgerton soundtrack exemplify the series’ celebration of both the old and the new. Prepare to be taken on a candlelit journey back to Mayfair’s Regency era.
Don’t keep this secret to yourself; let fellow fans revisit the steamiest scenes and a society rife with gossip: Candlelight x Bridgerton is coming to Bristol.
Yours truly,
Lady Whistledown
