Hampton Court Palace Surrey Events
Hampton Court Palace is a place that needs no introduction. An estate of epic proportions, this 500-year-old venue has been hosting kings, queens and dignitaries for parties, banquets, celebrations, and meetings since 1514 – and was a particular favourite of Henry VIII. Grand halls, charming courtyards, paintings by Antonio Verrio and Andrea Mantegna, blends of Tudor and Baroque architecture and 60 acres of jaw-dropping gardens make up this luxurious venue in Surrey, nestled on the banks of the River Thames.
A wide array of event spaces allows you to host your celebration in the very places enjoyed by royalty. Choose lavish, grand rooms fitting of a Tudor court; intimate spaces within the gardens; or throw a large, spectacular event within the grounds. A dedicated event manager will see to your every need, ensuring no detail goes spared and that your wedding, corporate function, or big celebration is every bit as magnificent as Hampton Court Palace itself.
