Arts and Filming
Iford Manor has been used for filming on a number of occasions. Most recently the gardens and cloister were used as the venue for the wedding sequence in Episode 1 of the second series of Mistresses.
Each summer musical events take place in the cloister of the Peto Garden; in 2009 twenty small-scale performances of three different operas were staged.
In the 2010 Iford Festival, which runs from 11 June to 14 August, there will be three opera productions - Rossini's La Cenerentola, Handel's Serse, and Verdi's Rigoletto and three jazz promenades, featuring, Clare Teal, Tim Kliphuis, The Red Stripe Band, The Kremlinaires, Eclipse: Spanish Spice, and La Timbala. Opera della Luna has performed at several of the festivals, beginning in 2003 with their production of La belle Hélène. Their later productions included L'Elisir d'Amore.
