Private Events
D'Oyly Carte Island will preserve the islands musical heritage with a limited number of private events for Birthdays, Anniversaries or other celebration.
Live Music
Once a year in summer, the island will host the D'Oyly Carte Island Summer Concerts. Hospitality and entertainment are all outside in the islands' gardens to audiences of up to 1,000 guests.
Musical Heritage
It is difficult to appreciate the significance of this Victorian trio.
It is important to complement a venue with so much music heritage with other music memorabilia from that time, and we are delighted to confirm an agreement with Melvyn Tarran, the founder and owner of the Gilbert & Sullivan Museum, for D’Oyly Carte Island to house some of the most important pieces from this unique and invaluable collection.
Music Lovers
Arthur Sullivan's grand piano, bought for his American mistress, an oil painting of the magnificent dress from Pirates of Penzance painted by the well-known American artist James Montgomery Flagg, and elaborate costumes from Savoy Theatre productions of Gilbert & Sullivan works are just a few items in this collection.
They will be displayed in the same ballroom used by Gilbert & Sullivan to write, create, and perform those memorable intimate performances in the 1890’s.
A magnificent ballroom in a historic house with deep music traditions, invaluable music memorabilia, set on a private island 30 minutes from central London, sets the scene.
Used by the greatest British musicians of their time and now hosting the best contemporary musicians of the day will deliver breathtaking creativity and performances that will be shared with music lovers around the world using the latest streaming technology.
