This September, experience an unforgettable evening of live musical entertainment, remembrance, and celebration as the Battle of Britain Proms returns to the RAF Museum Midlands. Set against a backdrop of historic aircraft, this stirring open-air concert marks the 85th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, paying tribute to ‘The Few’ with a rousing musical salute.
Taking place on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 September, this unmissable event is a spectacular celebration of British spirit. Audiences will be treated to three hours of toe-tapping tunes and patriotic classics, paired with food, fizz and poignant moments of reflection.
Headlining the Proms both evenings is West End and Broadway sensation, Kerry Ellis. Famed for her powerhouse vocals and iconic performances in shows such as Wicked, Les Misérables, and We Will Rock You, Kerry will light up the stage with her theatrical flair. A true star of stage and song, her performance promises to be an unforgettable highlight of the evening.
The Proms line-up will also see performances from the Ida Girls, four exceptional sopranos known for their dynamic blend of reimagined operatic arias, musical theatre favourites, and chart-topping hits. Also taking to the stage is The Lymm Concert Band, featuring over 45 woodwind and brass musicians performing a repertoire ranging from timeless classics to popular favourites from film, theatre, and concert band music. Plus, the Cosford Military Wives Choir will captivate audiences with their rich harmonies.
Mike Groves, Public Events Manager at RAF Museum Midlands said:
‘The Battle of Britain Proms promises to be an uplifting and unforgettable tribute to the courage and sacrifice of ‘The Few’.

We’re absolutely delighted to welcome an outstanding line-up of performers, including the incredible Kerry Ellis, to help make this a truly special evening for all who attend.’
Get into the Proms spirit and bring along your picnic hampers, blankets, camping chairs, and have your Union flags at the ready! Or why not sample some of the hot food available from a variety of street food stalls, serving up everything from wood-fired pizza and slow-roasted meat bento boxes to vegetarian Indian dishes and more! And for those looking to toast the occasion, a champagne fire truck and well-stocked bar will keep glasses topped up.
Don’t miss an unforgettable evening of music and celebration beneath the stars, at the RAF Museum Midlands.
