Whilst we strive to make Hampton Court Palace accessible to all visitors, this historic building has many uneven surfaces and difficult staircases. We recommend that wheelchair users bring their own wheelchairs for comfort and ease
Wheelchairs and electric buggies are available. Please note that electric buggies are for outdoor use only. These are sanitised between each use.
The majority of our exhibitions are accessible to those with limited mobility as there is a lift to the State Apartments on the first floor. Please speak to a Palace Host if you wish to use it.
Our We-Go wheelchairs are currently unavailable.

Unfortunately, due to conservation concern and the nature of items on display, we do not allow emotional support animals to enter the palace at this time.
