Jolly Day Out Festival Last night act announced

PWR Events and Historic Royal Palaces are delighted to announce the final act for the last evening of the new family Festival, Jolly Day Out.

The worldwide hit, Sing-a-Long-a Sound of Music will be entertaining families on Monday 29th August, with a spectacular fireworks display at the end of the evening to round off the Summer Festival at Hampton Court Green.

Sing-a-Long-a Sound of Music is a screening of the classic Julie Andrews film musical in glorious, full-screen technicolor, complete with subtitles so that the whole audience can sing along! The fun-filled show starts with a vocal warm-up led by the evening’s host, who also takes the audience through their complimentary ‘magic moments pack’, containing various props to be used at strategic points throughout the film.

Each day a headline act will take to the main stage and we are delighted to confirm Imelda May (26th), Bjorn Again (27th), McFly (28th) and Sing-a-long-a Sound of Music (29th).  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. There will be 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 HORRIBLE HISTORIES. With 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.

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!
