Best known for his orchestral suite The Planets, he composed and arranged large number of other works across a range of musical genres..particularly for trumpets
Excellent resource whether you are interested in Holst or local connections. The Salonika exhibition has been extended till June 2019, which is good news and worth taking in if you are in the area.
so much to see and lots of history like the displays
Small but informative museum. If you are into classical music or just like the Planet Suite then this is worth the effort.
Surprisingly good and interesting. Included kitchen demonstration and tasting whilst we were there. Enthusiastic staff . Nice period detail in the rooms. Worth going to even if you are not a Holst "fan".
