What a Hampton Court Palace visit involves

A visit to Hampton Court Palace is a full day beside the Thames, in the palace Henry VIII took from Cardinal Wolsey. One ticket covers the Tudor rooms, William III’s Baroque apartments, the kitchens, the gardens and the maze, with an audio guide, and there is no fixed entry time: you can arrive whenever you like during opening hours and stay all day.

Book Hampton Court Palace tickets for a day the palace is open. It opens at 10:00 and closes at 17:30, with last admission at 16:30, and opening days change with the season, so check the calendar before you travel.

About Hampton Court Palace

The palace Cardinal Wolsey began

Hampton Court Palace is two palaces in one. Cardinal Wolsey began it in 1514, Henry VIII made it the stage for his court, and Christopher Wren added a Baroque palace for William III and Mary II from 1689. Edward VI was born here, and no monarch has lived here since George II.

A ticket is how you walk through both. The full story of Wolsey, Henry's wives and the Stuart kings is told on its own page.

What your Hampton Court Palace ticket covers

The Tudor palace

The ticket covers Henry VIII's Great Hall and its tapestries, the Haunted Gallery on his processional route, the Chapel Royal, the Wolsey Rooms and the kitchens that fed his court.
