A big weekend full of serious nonsense
We are so excited to be back at The Big Bahooey at Hampton Court Palace from May 23rd – 25th 2026. Expect a wonderfully eclectic array of entertainment, interactivity and plenty of silliness.
‘This late May Bank Holiday, the Big Bahooey returns to Hampton Court Palace for a weekend of serious nonsense. With a brand-new lineup featuring world-class entertainment and jaw-dropping acts. The gardens of Hampton Court Palace will transform into a family-friendly festival of fun, bursting with spectacular shows, exciting encounters and live music for all ages. Families are invited to enjoy street performances and circus acts, marvel at aerial cabarets, take part in hands-on workshops and more. The Big Bahooey has countless activities in store, jam-packed with fun, chaos and oodles of silliness.’
Last year was the very first Big Bahooey festival. We had a blast curating all of the entertainment with performers, workshops and walkabout characters. Hampton Court Palace and it’s grounds are a stunning setting for such a fun family day out. So we are thrilled to be back this year with an even bigger lineup of amazement, craziness and joy.
Check out the amazing lineup so far and don’t miss out grab your tickets here.
