Sound Of Music fans will be able to sing along during an outdoor karaoke showing of the film starring Julie Andrews.

For all those who count the film among their favourite things, Harewood House is the place to be on August 18.

Barbara King, marketing assistant, said the special film showing, which carries subtitles for people who want to join in, had gone down a storm elsewhere in the country, but this would be the first time it would be held outdoors.

"We're inviting people to bring picnics and we're keeping our fingers crossed for nice weather," she said.

Tickets for the event, starting at 7.30pm, are £13 each, if booked before August 1; £15 afterwards. The box office phone number is 0113 218 1000.
