Lunchrooms and drinking water
The palace has several lunchrooms available of varying size. You'll be allocated a room appropriate to your group size when you book.

Shopping
Naturally, the palace gift shops – located in Base Court and the Barrack Block - are very popular with younger visitors.
Both shops contain similar merchandise suitable for school children. Your group will be allocated a shop on arrival. We ask that groups visit just one shop during their visit.
