The Hampton Court Palace Festival is an annual musical event held in June which was established in 1993. The Festival is renowned for presenting legendary artists across the music genres such as Sir Elton John, Eric Clapton, Tom Jones, Andrea Bocelli, Van Morrison, Jools Holland, the Buena Vista Social Club, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa and Jose Carreras. The concerts are held in the intimate and atmospheric open-air Base Court of the palace and continue a tradition of entertainment first introduced by monarchs and nobility in the 16th and 17th century.
The event is held at Hampton Court Palace and is run by IMG in conjunction with Historic Royal Palaces.
Guests to the Festival enjoy their visit with picnics in the beautiful Palace Gardens or dining within the stunning Palace State Apartments with a menu designed by Gordon Ramsay.
The 2007 Festival runs from June 5th – June 23rd
