Detectors investigate the Cupola Room

Press release

There will be plenty of great activities on offer this summer at Historic Royal Palaces, whether it be a visit to our new exhibition Royal Beasts, to discovering the stories of the seven princesses at the Enchanted Palace, or seeing the comical caricatures of George III and his family on display as part of the 2011 season at Kew Palace.

Why not enter your precious pooch in our Dashing Dog Show fundraising event in June at Kensington Palace or get your hands dirty and hunt for treasure by taking part in our annual mudlarking weekend on the Tower of London foreshore in July?

Stuck for ideas of what to do with the kids? We have a host of activities during the May half-term, Summer holidays and August Bank Holiday weekend across the palaces that are sure to entertain and educate the whole family!

Don’t forget HRP membership is the most cost-effective way to visit our palaces, giving unlimited free entry to all five palaces for a whole year! Prices start at only £56.00 for family membership! Visit http://www.hrp.org.uk/ for information about membership.

Historic Royal Palaces is the independent charity that looks after the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, the Banqueting House, Kensington Palace and Kew Palace.  We help everyone explore the story of how monarchs and people have shaped society, in some of the greatest palaces ever built.

We receive no funding from the Government or the Crown, so we depend on the support of our visitors, members, donors, volunteers and sponsors.

These palaces are owned by The Queen on behalf of the nation, and we manage them for the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport.

We believe in four principles.  Guardianship: giving these palaces a future as long and valuable as their past. Discovery: encouraging people to make links with their own lives and today’s world.  Showmanship: doing everything with panache. Independence: having our own point of view and finding new ways to do our work.                                                                                                                    http://www.hrp.org.uk/      registered charity number 1068852 -ends-
