Historic Royal Palaces
We are the independent charity that loves and looks after six of the most wonderful palaces in the world.
The palaces are the setting for the stories that shape us all. We want everyone to find themselves in the spaces and stories we share.
Through Primary Arts, schools can visit Hampton Court Palace, Kensington Palace or the Tower of London. Each palace offers two facilitated sessions, one for mainstream classes and one for SEND classes.
Every visit includes self-guided access to the palace before or after your guided visit.
