Join us for a ten day Festival offering a range of chamber music presented by talented musicians in an exciting and captivating programme performed in the fine acoustics of Paxton House’s Regency Picture Gallery with some additional daytime performances in our spacious marquee. A highlight of the year at Paxton House, Music at Paxton has become celebrated as the key music event in the Scottish Borders, easily within reach of audiences in Edinburgh and Newcastle. We attract top musicians and nurture the talent of tomorrow so our concerts are not to be missed. With performances from morning until dusk, there is something for everyone, even fun music sessions for babies and toddlers!

What’s happening in 2024?

This year’s Festival features an exciting range of guest musicians – internationally renowned performers, young emerging artists, and our Associate Ensemble in residence, The Consone Quartet. With performances from morning until dusk, there is music for every generation – classical chamber music, folk music, a masterclass for singers, relaxed performances for all the family and ‘Traditional Tunes for Tiny People’.

Make the most of the stunning grounds at Paxton House on our long light summer nights and bring a picnic to eat together before the concert or, for morning concerts, pop in for lunch or tea at our Stables Tearoom. Wine will be available in the Courtyard in the interval.
