Classic Ibiza

Party the night away to Classic Ibiza anthems under the stars in a family friendly environment with the beautiful backdrop of Burghley House. Classic Ibiza is a symphony for your senses. Join us on a magical rollercoaster ride of dance music’s most iconic tracks straight from the White Isle. All the family are guaranteed a night to remember. For 2026, witness the newly expanded 45-piece Urban Soul Orchestra, world class DJs and a host of critically acclaimed vocalists bring a heady blend of Balearic beats to life in the beautiful grounds of Burghley House. Enjoy your pinic to the sound of a brand-new 'Chill-Out Set' or dance along as the sun fades. The London Community Gospel Choir will take to the stage for the Sundowner set, with fresh DJ sets turning things up afterwards. The Urban Soul Orchestra and London Community Gospel Choir will return to the stage throughout the night, bringing a vibrant atmosphere to the summer evening, before the energy builds to a finale packed with the biggest dancefloor fillers. One classic dance track will follow another, as the delightful outdoor setting of Burghley turns into a magical, alfresco celebration, with accompanying lasers. Performed by Urban Soul Orchestra, conducted by Stephen Hussey, this is Classic Ibiza on a whole new scale - with more musicians, energy and impact… every note will now hit 40% harder.
