PWR Events are pleased to announce the FT Weekend as an official partner of Hampton Court Palace Festival 2015.
Hampton Court Palace Festival takes place during June in the stunning Tudor Base Court of the Palace with world-class acts, spectacular fireworks and sumptuous dining experiences. Artists confirmed for this year so far, include: Paloma Faith, Alfie Boe and John Wilson & The John Wilson Orchestra, Jools Holland & His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra as well as Fanfare & Fireworks with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.
Hampton Court Palace and its beautiful grounds provide the perfect setting for a midsummer evening concert. As well as the fantastic music line-up, it is renowned for creating a truly unforgettable experience. Artists perform in the Palace’s main courtyard, providing an intimate atmosphere for an audience of 3,000. The East Front Gardens open at 5.30pm, where there’s a full range of bar drinks and speciality food stalls. Each evening the festivalgoers will have the opportunity to relax with a copy of FT Weekend in the stunning Palace gardens pre-concert.
FT Weekend brings art and culture to life through intelligent and thought provoking coverage. From property to wine choices, from celebrated book reviews to an intelligent look at global travel, style and culture – there is something to delight and inspire all of their readers. This year sees FT Weekend celebrate its 30th Anniversary, with Hampton Court Festival forming part of its celebrations. For the past three decades, FT Weekend has continuously evolved and now includes the award-winning titles; How To Spend It, FT Weekend magazine; a greatly expanded House and Home section, Life and Arts and FT Money. Last year the FT Weekend app was launched, giving readers a beautifully designed way to enjoy FT Weekend wherever they are (app.ft.com/weekend).
The partnership will include a competition to win a pair of tickets to a concert, and a subscription offer.

Historic Royal Palaces is the independent charity that looks after Hampton Court Palace, the Tower of London, Banqueting House, Kensington Palace, Hillsborough Castle and Kew Palace. We help everyone explore the story of how monarchs and people have shaped society, in some of the greatest palaces ever built. We raise all our own funds and depend on the support of our visitors, members, donors, volunteers and sponsors. These palaces are owned by The Queen on behalf of the nation, and we manage them for the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. We believe in four principles. Guardianship: giving these palaces a future as long and valuable as their past. Discovery: encouraging people to make links with their own lives and today’s world. Showmanship: doing everything with panache. Independence: having our own point of view and finding new ways to do our work.
