Tributes at the Castle returns to Pontefract
Tuesday, May 12, 2026
Tributes at the Castle will be back for its second year on Sunday 21 June at Pontefract Castle, inviting audiences to step back in time for an unforgettable evening of music and nostalgia.
Following the success of last year’s ABBA Tribute, this year audiences can enjoy an 80’s show from Stage Fever Productions. There will be renditions of all the classics from the decade, including Bon Jovi, Madonna, The Human League and Eurythmics.
“Last year’s ABBA tribute was so popular we’ve decided to stick with the 80’s theme for another brilliant live show set in the beautiful grounds of Pontefract Castle. So, grab your friends and family, book a ticket and come along.”
Mark Lynam
Corporate Director for Regeneration, Environment and Economic Growth
The gates will open at 4pm with the concert itself beginning at 5pm. People can bring their own picnic or enjoy food and drink from street food vendors and the Keep Café and Gift Shop, which will remain open during the concert. There will also be an onsite bar, The Thirsty Steed.
Standard tickets are £18.35 for adults, £14.80 for children and under 5’s go free. Carers tickets are available for free, but valid ID must be shown upon entry. VIP tickets are available and include a bottle of prosecco and a reserved picnic table. Early access tickets are also available if people want to set up a bit earlier and get the best positions on the bailey.
Celebrate the summer in style at Pontefract Castle and enjoy live music with friends and family in one of the most beautiful places in the district.
