About Historic Royal Palaces

We are a team of people who love and look after six of the most wonderful palaces in the world.

We create space for spirits to stir and be stirred. We want everyone to feel welcome and accepted. We tell stories about the monarchs you know and the lives you don’t. We let people explore and we set minds racing.

We are a charity and your support gives the palaces a future, for everyone.
