Shades of Simon - a tribute to Paul Simon

Back by popular demand! The UK’s no.1 Paul Simon tribute band “Shades of Simon” will be bringing their highly acclaimed 2 hour show “The Paul Simon Story” to the National Trust's Flatford Mill for the 4th year running in July 2026. The show has an engaging narration telling the story of Paul Simon as one of the best songwriters of his generation, with the outstanding 5-piece band performing authentic renditions of the best of his songs from his time in Simon & Garfunkel in the 60’s (Homeward Bound, Sound of Silence, Bridge over troubled water etc.) through to his South African inspired Graceland tour in the 80’s (You can call me Al.) As well as listening to the lovely music, you will also be able to enjoy snacks and drinks from the National Trust catering team in the interval.

More about Foxash Estate

Essex, England

Foxash Estate sits quietly in Essex with enough charm to make you forget you're not actually in London. There are plenty of local parks for a Sunday stroll and community halls that always manage to turn out a decent cuppa while people chat about the weather. Near Here keeps tabs on everything from street fairs to school plays without needing to check a dozen different websites. You'll find your next outing listed right here so you can grab a sandwich and head straight to whatever sounds most sensible this week.
