Routes through the palace
Routes include Henry VIII’s Kitchens, Henry VIII’s Apartments, William III’s Apartments and the Georgian Story. Audio guides mark the step-free routes, and building works can change routes from day to day.
Gardens and the maze
Outside, the Privy Garden was replanted in its period style in 1992, and the maze was planted for William III in the 1690s. Wear comfortable shoes: paths and courtyards are uneven in places.
The Winter Palace
From 28 November 2026 to 3 January 2027 the Winter Palace brings festive lighting and projections to the palace, included with admission; some historic routes stay without festive displays. The ice rink is run separately.
