Visitors are very welcome to visit The Chapel Royal at Hampton Court Palace at other times. The Chapel is usually open to visitors from Monday to Saturday when recordings of the Chapel organ and choir can be heard.

Please note: The Chapel Royal may close at short notice on weekdays (usually for half a day and usually the afternoon), for major church festivals (i.e Good Friday), weddings and funerals.
 
The Chapel Royal is only open to visitors who do not wish to attend a service on Sundays between 12.30 and 13.30 and after Evensong - so between 16.45-17.15 - between April and October.

During late July, August and early September, when there are no Choral Services, the Chapel Royal will be open all day on Sundays.
 
Please note that there is no photography in the Chapel Royal, Royal Pew and Holy Day Closet.

Henry VIII's Crown is on display in the Royal Pew. Please note that this means it will only be on display on Sundays between 12.30 and 13.30 and may be unavailable at short notice on other dates for additional services particularlty over Holy Week and the Easter period.

There will be a marriage service at the beginning of June. The Chapel Royal and Holy Day Closets (so also Henry VIII's Crown) will be closed to visitors from 12:00 until after the service has finished at 14:30.

17 June to mid July 2013
Due to the organ work currently ongoing, the Chapel Royal will be closed to visitors for 4 weeks from 17 June. This is so as not to disturb the voicing of the organ, the delicate procedure which tunes the organ.

Saturday 7 September 2013
Chorister Open Day, 14:00-17:00 - see PDF flyer for pre-registration details.
