Celebrate Christmas this year with a fabulous gift membership of Historic Royal Palaces for your family and friends. Treat a loved one to a gift membership and make their year truly special and full of great days out!

Membership allows unlimited entry to all six palaces: Henry VIII and Elizabeth I Historic Royal Palaces is an independent charity that looks after The Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, Banqueting House, Kensington Palace, Kew Palace* and Hillsborough Castle.

And as a member you can explore and discover so much more about them, enjoying unlimited entry, exclusive discounts, while helping to support the conservation and care of these precious palaces for future generations.

"Our aim is to help everyone explore the story of how monarchs and people have shaped society, in some of the greatest palaces ever built.

"They're not just places but palaces: buildings where monarchs and their courts lived, and where history was made. These palaces witnessed many of the defining moments of our nation, and collectively they explain much of the nation's story."

Although the Palaces are owned by The Queen on behalf of the nation, Historic Royal Palaces receive no funding from the Government or the Crown, so depend on the support of visitors, members, donors, volunteers and sponsors.

Your gift will enable us to continue our important work, as well as provide a fantastic year of days out for the lucky recipient.

This December members are offered the chance to attend a special evening reception at the new Cumberland Art Gallery at Hampton Court Palace featuring work from the Royal Collection, including paintings by Holbein, van Dyck, Rembrandt, Caravaggio and Canaletto.
