Hampton Court Palace Festival

The Hampton Court Palace Festival gets underway with high-profile names from rock, pop and classical music taking to the stage in the historic main courtyard of the Tudor palace.

Experience summer evenings of memorable music with special guests including Jools Holland, Van Morrison, Marc Almond, Jamie Cullum, Jason Donovan, Rick Astley, Dionne Warwick, George Benson and the legendary Beach Boys.

Away from the main stage, visitors can relax with a picnic in the scenic gardens or head over to a marquee to enjoy the delights of the buffet. Now in its 21st year, this is one of the more sophisticated and laid-back entries in the festival calendar.
