Hampton Court Palace Concerts 2025

Beautiful palace and must visit. Tickets are expensive, but worth visiting Henry’s kitchen, gardens, horse ride. I loved the gardens, also popular for tulip season, you can find different tulips blooming now. It’s huge palace, so please plan and go early. I was not much interested in palace rooms, so we spent most of the time in Kitchen, it’s different and unique setup which I have not seen in any other palace. Audio guides are free with tickets and are very informative. Second must visit section would be the maze garden, tickets are included in the price, it’s one of the oldest and only maze gardens available in London. It’s fun to find your way, it’s small but challenging maze and is perfect to end your day at the palace. The food at the cafe is the best I ever had, it’s fresh, clean and good quantity. The pastry and quiche and even the coffee were delicious!!!! Also don’t forget to notice the famous Faraday house on the way to Hampton Palace.

Big house. Lots of history. Great maze. But simple but the truth. An interesting palace where Henry Tudor and his entourage wandered around changing the course of history and the bodily makeup of a couple of his wives. Big rooms are interesting, gardens good. I liked the kitchens they were the best part. Where real people wandered around and prepared food for the great and well not so good if you read history. Well worth a visit. Possibly more than one. The maze is cool, the tilt yards interesting. Well worth a visit . Even if you just look at the clock.

Tulips festival: open day for Garden. Pay to go to the palace. Royal Chapel is beautiful. Henry VIII's Kitchens is interesting which was comprised of 40 rooms and staffed with 200 servants to service the palace. If you don’t like to use the provided audio set you can use the QR codes at the entrance of historic buildings to learn the stories and history. Highly recommend you to use the audio guide as there aren’t a lot of explanation on the rooms or items.

A nice & big palace with a lot of big gardens, and a nice children playground (it's called The Magic Garden). There's a maze garden too... Luckily there's a gold bunny hunting with a prize. Kids surely enjoy the hunting... The guards and officers are all friendly with great costumes. All places are tidy, clean, and well-managed.

Overall a great place, especially if you are a fan of Henry VIII story. I was lucky to witness the last days of tulip festival which decorates the place so gracefully. Spring is probably the best time to visit. The playground is an absolute gem. Minus one star due to lack of cafes and restaurants on the premises. There is one cafe situated in one of the gardens where I got at 3pm and the part where they serve food was already closed, while the premises shut at 5.30pm, so everyone in a huge queue was left with coffee and pastries only.
