Hampton Court Palace Conference and Events

Hampton Court Palace has hosted members of the royal family since the 16th Century and is now available as a magnificent setting for private and corporate events. The venue’s numerous spaces can host events of any size – from the modest to the outrageous.

Once home to Henry VIII, Hampton Court Palace has been the location for many historic events and lavish banquets. A favourite home of the Royal family until the 18th Century, the palace is set within 65 acres of stunning gardens and 700 acres of historic parkland.

An unforgettable venue for the most opulent of events, Hampton Court Palace lends itself perfectly to conferences, team building events, meetings, drinks receptions and dinners.
