The Great Promenade Concert was a charity event for the Good Hope Lodge, held in the Good Hope Gardens, Cape Town, in 1867.

The concert was a joint effort of the 9th Regiment amateur company, the military band led by Signor Bonicoli and the the Le Roy Company, with inter alia "the celebrated Shadow Pantomime as lately produced at the Theatre Royal".


In 1867 the company was involved in a Great Promenade Concert, a charity event for the Good Hope Lodge, held in the Good Hope Gardens on 7 February, which included "the celebrated Shadow Pantomime as lately produced at the Theatre Royal". This was followed by two performances of a Benefit Performance for the Somerset Hospital in Cape Town (4 and 5 March), arranged by the officers of the 9th Regiment in the Theatre Royal. This company of officers was led by a Captain Borton, and included Captain Harvey, Mr Wavell, Mr Evans.
