Historic Royal Palaces

Who we are

Historic Royal Palaces is the charity that looks after The Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, The Banqueting House, Kensington Palace, Kew Palace and Hillsborough Castle. We help everyone explore the story of how monarchs and people have shaped society in some of the greatest palaces ever built. We raise all our own funds and depend on the support of our visitors, members, donors, sponsors and volunteers. This summer, we’ll be bringing a fabulous family festival to Tatton Park in Cheshire: Tudors on Tour brings to life the magnificence and splendour of Henry VIII's travelling court and his Royal Progress through a spectacular mix of jousting, feasting and royal entertainment plus a cutting edge 360 degree digital pop-up palace. We will be working with local schools and communities in the run up to the festival on various creative learning projects. Please get in touch for more information.
