HERITAGE Live returned to Englefield House once more bringing live performances to the Elizabethan estate.

This time saw Old Time Sailors open the show with their unique brand of shanty-soaked 19th Century seafaring fare, performed with traditional instruments.

They were joined by The Lightning Seeds, most famous for their 1996 song 3 Lions, which was topped the charts multiple times after becoming an anthem for the English national football team.

This year they celebrated the 35th anniversary of the band’s first release, 1989’s Cloudcuckooland.

Madness headlined the event, hot on the heels of their recent topping of the UK album charts with their latest release, Theatre of the Absurd Presents C’est la Vie.
