Hampton Court Green, 26-29th August 2011 PWR Events and Historic Royal Palaces are delighted to announce a new Summer Festival for the whole family - Jolly Day Out, which will take place from Friday 26th – Monday 29th August 2011, on Hampton Court Green. Kids under 12 go free and tickets go on sale on Friday 13th May.
Each day a headline act will take to the main stage and we are delighted to confirm Imelda May (26th), Bjorn Again (27th) and McFly (28th) will be performing with an extra artist to be announced shortly. Throughout the day there will also be a great mix of bands and activities on the stage for everyone. Jolly Day Out is all about the family so that means keeping the kids entertained. We will have live shows in the theatre every day with Charlie & Lola’s Best Bestest Play* from the BBC hit TV series and the stage show of the BAFTA Award-winning HORRIBLE HISTORIES. We have more Festival Fun planned with hourly story- telling from The Roald Dahl Museum as well as hands-on interactive demos with the coolest experiments from the Science Museum. Kids of all ages can monkey around recreating all the excitement of a Royal Tournament in Henry the Apes Arena, learn circus skills in our very own Big Top, make arts & crafts, have their faces painted and jump on our traditional funfair rides keeping them entertained for hours.
And finally, we haven’t forgotten about the adults… Whilst the kids are off being entertained, the parents can relax with a well-deserved drink of their choice. There will be Pimms, beer and Champagne tents, for starters. We are also delighted that Jamie Oliver’s Fabulous Feasts will be at the Festival, providing delicious food for all the family, a Pizza Express, Maggies Farm, SoulFoods Co and Flaming Cactus to name a few. All this and much more will be available in an afternoon of fun packed family tomfoolery! Listings Information Date: Friday 26th – Monday 29th August 2011
