Hampton Court Palace Festival
Summer evenings to remember...
A highlight of the summer calendar, Hampton Court Palace Festival brings a series of performances by world-renowned artists to the truly unique setting of Base Court, the palace’s spine-tinglingly intimate Tudor courtyard.
Before the concert soak up the atmosphere in the East Front Gardens, enjoy mouthwatering street food or make your evening extra special with one of the festival extras – King’s VIP Dining Experience in the State Apartments, access to the Queen’s Garden enclosure, a private Fountain-side Pergola, or a prepared Garden Picnic or Sharing Platter from British Fine Foods.

With just 3,000 seats per night, Hampton Court Palace Festival offers a rare opportunity to see world-renowned performers up close in a truly special setting.
