Hampton Court Palace Food Festival, is regarded as one of the top most food experiences in the UK for foodies, with 150 local & international food & drink vendors in attendance. In addition to the festival, ticket holders also had access to the beautiful grounds and exquisite palace.

This year, the palace is featuring “The Indian Army at the Palace” exhibition. The remarkable collection brings to life experiences by soldiers from the Indian Army, who camped at Hampton Court Palace on a number of occasions in the early 20th century. They were invited to join the coronation celebrations of Edward VII (1902), George V (1911) and George VI (1937) as well as the First World War peace parades in 1919.
