An unforgettable evening of country classics under the stars

Get ready for plenty of Dolly sparkle as The Dolly Parton Experience comes to Borde Hill.

Featuring two of Europe’s leading tribute performers, Sarah Jayne as Dolly Parton and Andy Crust as Kenny Rogers, accompanied by their full live band, this spectacular show brings together the music of two of country music’s most beloved icons.

Sarah and Andy have been performing together for many years and are the only Dolly and Kenny tribute performers worldwide to have received personal endorsements from both stars.

Kenny Rogers described them as:

“Europe’s Leading Dolly & Kenny Impersonators”

While Dolly Parton herself said:

“I wish them the best and appreciate them doing Dolly and Kenny so well for so long.”

Enjoy all the hits you love, from Dolly favourites including 9 to 5, Jolene, I Will Always Love You and Coat of Many Colors, to unforgettable duets with Kenny Rogers such as Islands in the Stream.

Set against the backdrop of Borde Hill’s Elizabethan House, the concert takes place on the South Lawn, offering a beautiful setting for an evening of live country music beneath the summer sky.

Whether you’re a lifelong Dolly fan, a country music enthusiast, or looking for a memorable summer evening, join us for a joyful celebration of two country music legends.

The Dolly Parton Experience is presented in conjunction with E3 Events.
