This October, The Kingsmills Hotel is delighted to welcome a truly exceptional musical experience to Inverness – a first of its kind in the Highland capital. Working with pianist Frank McNamara, the team are bringing a Coldplay Candlelight Dinner Experience to the city on Saturday 4th October 2025. Guests are invited to join Frank McNamara for an intimate evening of fine dining and live music in the most atmospheric of settings, surrounded by candles.
One of Europe’s most versatile pianists, Frank McNamara has performed for millions over two decades as the musical heart of Ireland’s Late Late Show, and has collaborated with global stars including Seal, LeAnn Rimes, and Gladys Knight. “I am so thrilled to be coming to Inverness and Kingsmills in particular to perform our unique Coldplay arrangements. Scottish and Irish people share a bond in their love for music, good food and fun” says Frank.
For this special occasion, he is joined by the acclaimed Bridgerton String Quartet, known for their romantic, cinematic interpretations of modern classics. Together, they will present an elegant reimagining of Coldplay’s greatest songs in a 75-minute live performance, surrounded by a thousand candles in the beautifully transformed Kingsmills Suite.
Craig Ewan, Operations Director said, “We are absolutely delighted to be working with Frank McNamara to bring this event to life – candlelight concerts are incredibly unique and we know this is going to be a very special evening.”
Guests will be welcomed with a sparkling reception and a carefully curated three-course dinner before the performance begins – all designed to complement the warmth of the music and candlelight. The result is a truly sensory celebration: timeless melodies, exquisite cuisine, and an atmosphere that is nothing short of magical.
Tickets cost £65 per guest, inclusive of welcome drink, dinner and performance. Advance booking is essential, with tickets fully prepayable, non-refundable, and non-transferable.
