About the tours

A BSL interpreter and Deaf BSL-using guide will be available from 10.30am on the days listed. 

There is no additional cost - this is included in normal palace admission tickets.

Itineraries can be tailored to individual or group needs. 

BSL interpreters will follow the palace's daily costume guided tour/presentation programme. Ask at the Information Centre about where to join the tour if you arrive later in the day. The interpreter wears a purple tabard so can easily be identified by the staff.

The Deaf guide will give guided tours of areas of the palace not covered by the costumed guides.

Both will remain on site until late afternoon or for as long as visitors require.

Group leaders planning to bring a large party may wish to arrange a date specific to their group.

Hampton Court Palace reserves the right to move the planned BSL interpreter presence to cover special events.
