About Hampton Court Palace Festival

Open-air concerts in the Tudor Base Court of Hampton Court Palace, with just 3,000 seats a night.

For about two weeks in June, a series of evening concerts is staged inside Base Court at Hampton Court Palace. Doors open at 5:30 pm so there is time to picnic or eat street food in the East Front Gardens before the music. The catch is that the line-up is announced in stages, so the acts for a given year may not be known until late.
