Enchanted Palace
Kensington has been transformed into the Enchanted Palace - a unique multisensory exhibition combining fashion, live performance, music, film and dazzling spectacle to show the palace in a magical light. Intriguing and mysterious characters lead visitors on a journey through the spellbound palace to discover its tales of love and hate, surprise and sadness, secrets and jealousy.

As they travel through the magnificent State Apartments visitors will encounter a series of stunning installations featuring contemporary fashion by leading designers such as Paul Costelloe, Zandra Rhodes and Vivienne Westwood inspired by the palace’s Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection and woven into fascinating stories from the palace's history. This is a secret Kensington Palace – one you’ve never seen before!

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-
