The Hampton Court Palace Festive Fayre is held in the Great Fountain Garden across two weekends: 4–6 and 11–13 December 2026. It is open from 10:00 to 17:00. The palace itself closes at 16:30, except on 11 December.
More than 100 independent producers and stallholders sell candles, fragrances, jewellery, homewares, prints, hampers, board games and socks, alongside festive food and drink. Live music plays at a bandstand throughout the day.
Festive Fayre entry is included in standard palace admission. Historic Royal Palaces members go free but must pre-book, and entry without a pre-booked ticket cannot be guaranteed. The optional Festive Lounge upgrade is for adults aged 18 and over and requires a valid Fayre ticket or membership.
The Fayre connects to Winter Palace, which runs from 28 November 2026 to 3 January 2027. The nearby Ice Rink runs from 20 November 2026 to 3 January 2027, excluding Christmas Day, and requires a separate ticket.
Hampton Court railway station is directly across Hampton Court Bridge from the palace, with direct South Western Railway services from London Waterloo. The address is Hampton Court Palace, East Molesey, Surrey, KT8 9AU. Confirm details on the official Festive Fayre page.
