Enjoy a spectacular historical setting and the beautiful East Front Gardens to picnic before the concert.

VIP Concert & Dining Packages are available in the sumptuous State Apartments for an exquisite dining experience, taking in the full splendour of the Tudor Palace!

The evening's concert will take place in a seated auditorium in Base Court, against the backdrop of the magnificent Tudor palace. All tickets are allocated seats and include entrance to the Palace Gardens.

Customers are advised to finish their picnics by 8pm as they will need to start making their way through the Palace and into the auditorium. No food or drink can be taken into the Palace. Picnic bags can be left in a picnic drop-off point for collection after the show.
