Food & Drink
The Palace Gardens open at 5:30pm so arrive early and start your evening with drinks and a bite to eat before the concert.
Pre-show drinks
A range of summer drinks and snacks will be available from the bars in the East Front Gardens. Enjoy a refreshing beer, wine, cider, soft drink or Pimm’s from one of the 4 open-air bars. The beautiful Champagne PIAFF bar will also be returning.
This year there will be an Auditorium Bar serving beer, wine, champagne and soft drinks which you can take into the auditorium. To save time, pre-purchase drinks from the Garden Bar on the East Front.
Festival Picnic

Please note, your picnic ticket does not give you entry into the event.
