The Green, Hampton Court Palace,
Surrey, KT8 9AU
Situated in front of Henry VIII's
majestic Palace on the banks of the River Thames, The Green
is a splendid tree-lined park that has long been a popular meeting
place for residents of the many communities surrounding Hampton
Court.
Traditionally,
The Green has hosted fairs, fetes, circuses and other social
events and is a much loved open space amenity attracting large
numbers to shows staged for a limited number of days each year.
Though not inside its walls, The Green is
very much an integral part of the Palace and events held there
are organised by its permission and with the help and support
of Palace staff.
The Green is the perfect setting for A
Country Affair. Decked out with stylish white marquees
this lovely park is transformed into the countryside for three
days, yet it benefits from all the advantages of being close
to large centres of population.
Excellent
train services to Hampton Court with connecting services from
throughout the South East via Wimbledon and
Surbiton, make The Green accessible to visitors from far beyond
the immediate area. Frequent bus services stop around The Green
and there is a good network of roads with easy access from the
M25, M3 and A3.
There are cycle networks too, including fabulous rides along
the Thames. And for those living in the communities around The
Green- the Hamptons, Teddington, East and West Molesey, Kingston,
Thames Ditton and Surbiton to name just a few- there are some
wonderful walks leading to the show, many of them through Bushy
Park and along the Thames.
A Country Affair continues a long, historical tradition
of hosting family events in association with the jewel in the
crown at the heart of the community: the Royal Palace at Hampton
Court.
We look forward to welcoming you to The Green and to the Palace
itself.
