Kew Palace this summer

Kew Palace is the oldest surviving building within the Gardens and was the family home of George III and the setting for many personal family dramas that made history.

At Kew Palace this summer, you can enjoy history unfolding before your eyes as the illness of King George is interpreted at weekend, or for an expert-led tour of the Palace there are behind-the-scenes tours on Sunday evenings.

Costumed re-enactments at Kew Palace
Weekends in June and July, 11am - 4pm

King George III is ailing and the country waits anxiously for news. Meet two Georgian doctors who argue over which unconventional treatment is best for the King and give your own diagnosis.




Sunday evening tours
