Candlelight Dinner Experience

In March, The Kingsmills Hotel is delighted to host a truly exceptional candlelight dinner experience in Inverness. Following a huge success in previous years, this is the third event in the Highland capital!

On Saturday 20th March 2026, we invite guests to join us for Frank McNamara’s Candlelight Classics Dinner Experience – an intimate evening of fine dining and live music in the most atmospheric of settings.

Frank will showcase the Magic of the Movies, performing beloved scores from Star Wars and Harry Potter to The Godfather and Pirates of the Caribbean.

The programme includes:
John Williams – E.T., Harry Potter, Schindler’s List, Star Wars
Hans Zimmer – Pirates of the Caribbean, Interstellar
Ennio Morricone – The Mission
Nino Rota – The Godfather
Nigel Hess – Ladies in Lavender
Francis Lai – Love Story

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. For this special occasion, he is joined by the Bridgerton String Quartet, known for their romantic, cinematic interpretations of modern classics.

Candlelight concert

Together, they will present an elegant reimagining of contemporary music in a 75-minute live performance, surrounded by a thousand candles in the beautifully transformed Kingsmills Suite.

Guests will be welcomed with a sparkling reception and a carefully curated three-course dinner before the performance begins – all designed to complement the immersive warmth of the music and candlelight. Therefore, we’ll have a truly sensory celebration. Timeless melodies, exquisite cuisine, and an atmosphere that is nothing short of magical.

Included in the evening

• Welcome glass of Prosecco
• 3 course menu followed by tea & coffee
