It will also include a live Q&A session with Stefan Anderson, Emily and Hamish, head girl and head boy. Details of how to submit questions will be included in the video. The event will run from 11am to 12.30pm.

The tour will bring to life the environment at Tring Park School, which has provided a springboard for former students who have achieved worldwide success.

Notable recent alumni include Sabrina Bartlett, currently starring in the huge hit Bridgerton on Netflix as Siena Rosso, and Lily James, who is soon to be seen playing Linda in the Pursuit of Love on BBC, based on the Nancy Mitford novel. X Factor star Ella Henderson was also a student on the Commercial Music Course at Tring.

Going back a little further, Tring Park was also where a star of the recent series of Strictly Come Dancing, actress Caroline Quentin honed her performing skills. Caroline described Tring as "like a fairytale".

And last year, four Tring alumni were named as leading cast members in the West End premiere of Frozen, set to take the world of musical theatre by storm in the Spring/Summer of 2021 at a refurbished Theatre Royal Drury Lane. These are Joe Griffiths-Brown, Hannah Fairclough, Jake Lawrence Small and Matt Gillett.

Tring Park School is both a day and boarding school for students aged eight to 19. The school is proud of its broad academic curriculum, which includes offering students the choice of 15 GCSEs and 22 A levels.

Vocational courses include Performance Foundation Course, which is designed to act as the bedrock of a career in the Performing Arts, before students go on to student either Commercial Music; Acting; Musical Theatre; and Dance in sixth form.
