ABBA by Moonlight at Newbridge House

What to Expect

ABBA by Moonlight brings a full tribute show through the Swedish group’s biggest singalong hits to the Walled Garden at Newbridge House & Farm. It’s staged as an open-air evening concert in the same picnic-and-blanket format that Newbridge has been running through the summer, giving the show a relaxed, outdoor festival feel rather than a formal indoor gig, with the walled garden and the historic estate as a backdrop.

The tribute act format tends to draw a mixed-age crowd, from people who grew up on the original ABBA records to younger audiences who know the songs from Mamma Mia and more recent covers, and the walled garden setting keeps it feeling more like a garden party than a big concert. It’s one of a run of similar tribute and themed outdoor shows Newbridge House has hosted across the 2026 summer season.

Newbridge House & Farm’s walled garden gives these shows a genuinely different feel from a standard outdoor gig, since the enclosed, planted setting keeps sound contained and adds a bit of shelter compared to an open field. The wider estate, including the Georgian house and traditional farm, is also open during the day for anyone who wants to arrive early and make more of the visit before the evening show begins.
