Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra: Fanfare and Fireworks

The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra return to Hampton Court Palace Festival once again, performing in the beautiful Tudor Courtyard. The performance culminates with Handel's 'Music for the Royal Fireworks', shortly before – as you might guess – a suitably epic firework display takes place.

The gates open at 5.30pm for those wanting to enjoy a picnic in the Palace gardens beforehand, while the concert itself begins at 8.30pm. There's no interval and the fireworks start 15 minutes after the concert finishes.
