Prebook your tickets now and get fast track entry to Hampton Court Palace PLUS pay less than you would on the day.
Hampton Court Palace promises a magical journey back through 500 years of royal history. Discover the magnificent State Apartments of Henry VIII and William III, explore 60 acres of immaculate riverside gardens and lose yourself in the world-famous maze.
For almost 200 years, Hampton Court Palace was at the centre of court life, politics and national history. Although often identified with Henry VIII, its history was influenced just as much by William III and Queen Mary II in the late 17th century.

- Barbecues are not permitted anywhere within the Palace Grounds
- No hampers, large items or bags are permitted within the concert auditorium
- A complimentary 'left-picnic' facility will be available within the Palace Gardens while you enjoy the concert

Timings

- 5.30pm Palace Gardens open for guests to picnic
For concerts that commence at 7.15pm there will be an interval of 75 minutes during which we recommend that you dine and picnic. For concerts beginning at 9pm there is no interval so we recommend that you dine within the Palace Gardens before the concert.
Disabled Access
Hampton Court Palace is a historic building and, therefore, has uneven surfaces. However, many of the staircases are wide and shallow (having been built for William III who was asthmatic). There is a step free route from the Palace Gardens to Palace Courtyard. Within the Palace Courtyard there are 6 spaces and 6 companion seats per concert on the wheelchair platform. These spaces are limited and subject to availability.
