For almost 200 years, Hampton Court Palace was at the centre of court life, politics and national history. The palace is home to one of the greatest collections of Renaissance paintings in England. The fascinating but more practical side of royal life is represented at Hampton Court by the enormous Tudor Kitchens, the most extensive surviving 16th-century kitchens in Europe.

There are over 60 acres of gardens to explore at Hampton Court including the Maze, the Great Vine and the newly restored Privy Garden.

We offer a wide range of education programmes at Hampton Court Palace including costumed presentations, artefact handling sessions, guided tours, story-telling, slide lectures, music and drawing. We also provide tailor-made sessions and in-service training for teachers.
