Kensington Palace

(Every day)


Whilst building works have closed parts of the palace, only the State Apartments remain open, completely transformed into the Enchanted Palace - definitely not a traditional experience...

Ticket information

Please note that your Kensington Palace ticket is for Enchanted Palace only - other rooms and past displays such as the Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection, 'Diana Fashion and Style' and 'The Last Debutantes' are now closed due to the building works.

Kensington Palace is now the Enchanted Palace - a very different and immersive experience which fills the historic State Apartments with modern art and fashion installations plus experimental lighting until early 2012 whilst major building works to transform the palace take place.

Your quest is to find the seven princesses at the heart of Kensington, but you will need to ask questions of our expert Explainers to discover the history of the palace and its former inhabitants...
