Hampton Court Palace Festival

If you're looking to get in on the festival vibe this summer, but don't fancy standing knee-deep in mud while rock music blasts out from a stage in the distance, you could try the Hampton Court Palace Festival.

With 14 shows between 5-23 June, there should be something for everyone among this year's eclectic line-up.

José Carreras, one of the world's greatest opera stars, opens the festival, with legends like Tom Jones and Van Morrison following in quick succession.

Other stars performing include Bryan Ferry, M People featuring Heather Small, Jools Holland and Lulu.

The Sound of Music's Lesley Garrett is also booked, while classical music fans can enjoy Julian Lloyd Webber, Aled Jones and Richard Hickox.

Tickets range from £39.50-£95 (www.hamptoncourtfestival.com, 0870 060 2338 or 0870 890 0147)
