Hampton Court Palace Festival 2nd – 13th June
In a truly unique setting, the historic Hampton Court Palace courtyard plays host to some of the biggest names from the world of music to bring an eclectic mix of concerts over 10 nights in June.
There is no better setting on a warm summer night for some of the world’s leading musicians to provide an unforgettable experience.
If you can get there early enough why not pre-order one of Carluccio’s picnics and relax and enjoy it in Hampton Court Palace’s stunning 17th Century Gardens before the concert.
The free car park opens at 5pm and the Palace Gardens open at 5:30pm for you to enjoy the surroundings and picnic. The Palace Courtyard opens at 6:30pm so you can take your seats before the performances which begin at 7:15pm or 9pm.
