| This Celebrated Jacobean house stands in over 1000 acres of parkland just 21 miles north of London. It is steeped in both Elizabethan and Victorian political history. Built between 1607 and 1611 by Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury and chief minister to King James I, it has been the family home to the Cecils ever since. |
| Within the delightful gardens stands the surviving wing of The Royal Palace of Hatfield (1485) where Elizabeth I spent much of her childhood and held her first Council of State in November 1558. |
| The parklands at Hatfield have to rate amongst the most beautiful and romantic of England with dog walks and marked nature trails throughout. It was beneath an ancient oak in this parkland that the young Elizabeth as legend tells, heard the news of her sister Mary's death, and her accession to the English throne. |
| It is within the Queen Elizabeth Oak Field surrounded by these trees steeped in the history of England that the Battle Proms is staged. |
