Each year we hold a special Christmas Fundraising Event at Hampton Court Palace to raise money for our 'Kids on Court' Campaign. The 2002 event, held on the 18th of December, was our third evening at the Palace,
Guests at our Christmas Celebration are treated to an evening of fine food, music and entertainment in the magnificent setting of King Henry VIII's palace, a perfect location particularly as Henry himself was a tennis player and built a court there.

Hampton Court is spectatcular at night and our guests enter the palace to the tune of bagpipes along an avenue of flaming torches. This year, we changed the proceedings slightly to allow our guests to experience some other areas of the Palace, continuing our theme of a Tudor Christmas.

The evening began with a drinks reception in the Tudor Kitchens, parts of which date from 1514. A roaring log fire had been lit in the main kitchen and our guests gathered around the fire with glasses of mulled wine |
