What we offer
Over the last few years thousands of people in the local community have been involved with projects and events inspired by Hampton Court Palace. Each year we organise a range of projects which involve working with people of all ages, as well as events which are either open to the public or for invited community groups. Our work focuses on engaging the boroughs nearest to our palaces.
Coming up over Autumn/Winter 2010/11 we’ve got a projects for nursing and care homes inspired by the great State Beds at the palace, a project for a hospital, planning for garden projects, new access initiatives, community group visits and much more.
If you are interested in your community group working with Hampton Court Palace, e-mail outreachandcommunity@hrp.org.uk, although we unfortunately can’t guarantee to work with every group, owing to time, resources and strategic priorities – but please feel free to get in touch anyway!
Visitor access
Drawn from the local community, members of the Historic Royal Palaces Access Forum help improve the experience at the palace for people with disabilities.
They regularly contribute to the planning of exhibitions and are consulted on a range of other matters both at Hampton Court Palace and Kew Palace.
The forum engages in a dialogue with project managers from the outset, making access issues integral to the process.
You can find out about visitor access, and download the Hampton Court Access Guide here.
