Ask the conservators


See our conservators in action and find out what they’re up to

Our ‘Ask the Conservators’ programme gives you a chance to see up close some of the conservation work that normally occurs behind the scenes.

What are we doing? Just ask!

Look for our conservators around the palaces wearing ‘Ask the Conservators’ badges. They’ll be happy to tell you about what they’re doing to conserve the palaces’ collections and to answer your questions.

Demonstrations and talks

Where conservators are performing specialist conservation treatments and carrying out projects they will offer short presentations at certain times of the day.

For details of the events taking place at the palaces on the day of your visit see the ‘What’s on’ calendar.

Support the palaces 

Palace conservation is expensive work and as an independent charity we receive no funding from the Government or the Crown.

We depend on our visitors, members, donors, volunteers and sponsors to help us.

Support us or become a volunteer
