Members-Only Early Gardens Access

Enjoy this special members-only opportunity to experience the tranquility and beauty of our historic gardens, one hour before we open to the public.

These beautiful spaces are perfect for a peaceful morning walk, to get your day off to the best start. Take a quiet morning stroll through the Rose Garden, the Kitchen Garden and the Wilderness.* 

Stop in at the Tiltyard café to enjoy a coffee and tasty breakfast snack, with a special 50% discount for members before 10.00.

Further information

Members enjoy early access from 09.00, including access to the palace car park (normal charges apply). 

This is a members-only event for named Historic Royal Palaces members. As our Ticket Office will not be open until 10.00, it’s essential that all members bring a valid membership card (or confirmation email for brand new members) and a pre-booked ticket to enjoy free, early entry.

*Please note, the Magic Garden, the Maze, the East Front and other areas of the gardens be accessible from 10.00.

Enjoy a mindful morning

Following World Mental Health Day on 10 October, a stroll through our historic gardens is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a moment of mindfulness and reflection.

With a multitude of quiet spots and benches to take a seat around the Wilderness, why not practice some mindful breathing or meditation as you listen to the morning birdsong and wind rustling through the trees?

If you’re not a fan of the sounds of nature, pop your headphones in and listen to an episode of Historic Royal Palaces’ podcast as you stretch your legs.
