Take advantage of an idyllic riverside location, numerous available venues, our knowledgeable events team, approved suppliers for all your event needs and access to palace exhibits and tours.

A new way to hire: choose from exclusive or non-exclusive hire

To offer you even greater flexibility and value for money, you can now hire the State Apartments on either an exclusive or non-exclusive basis.

If you have up to 200 guests and your budget prevents you from hiring the entire palace on an exclusive basis, you can now choose from a range of specific packages giving you access to select areas of Hampton Court Palace on a non-exclusive basis for either a corporate or private event.

Hire the State Apartments on either an exclusive or non-exclusive basis and your event will include:  

• Use of a State Apartment for a reception
• Use of a State Apartment for dinner
• A member of the Palace Event Management team before, during and after the event
• A team of Hampton Court Palace State Apartment Warders
• Palace Security

• Tours of the Palace
• Costume guides (3) (if required)
