Hampton Court Palace Festival

Picnic in the palace gardens

Enhance your evening with a relaxed pre-concert picnic in the picturesque Great Fountain Garden. Enjoy a bespoke menu from an incredible selection of street food while soaking up the atmosphere before making your way through the palace to watch your favourite artist perform in Base Court, set against the awe-inspiring Tudor backdrop.

For an extra touch of luxury, fans can pre-book fountain-side pergolas and enjoy a welcome drink while taking in the surroundings.

Discover our VIP and hospitality experiences

Are you celebrating a special occasion? Thinking of the perfect way to wow your clients or just fancy splashing out? Join us for a night you won't forget with a pre-concert dining experience inside Hampton Court Palace.
