Hampton Court Palace Surrey Corporate Functions & Events
Experience grandeur, splendour and history at Hampton Court Palace, the 16th-century estate on the bank of the River Thames in Surrey, just outside London. Built in 1514, this royal Tudor palace and incredible 60 acres of gardens was a favourite of Henry VIII and royalty that succeeded him, and in its 500 years has held galas, banquets, parties, celebrations, and historic meetings of epic proportions.
Treat your guests and clients to a corporate function they’ll never forget. The Garden Room, a 1920s-style light and airy orangery is a stunning space that comes with its own private walled garden that makes a great breakout space, as well as modern AV technology for presentations and conferences. Or choose the Albemarle Suite right in the centre of the palace for small meetings, that comes with stunning views of the gardens.
Treat your guests to something extra with private carriage rides around the impeccable gardens, or a tour of the palace to soak up the architecture, Antonio Verrio paintings and jaw-dropping tapestries, before settling down to business. If it’s entertaining you have in mind, you’re spoilt for choice. Hampton Court Palace is a unique venue that boasts an array of regal, majestic spaces and small, intimate areas for business dinners or your team’s Christmas party. Speak to your dedicated event manager who will help you choose the right venue for your function – and ensure everyone who attends will love every moment of it.
