Description
Today, the palace is available to hire for a limited number of events each year, whether for fabulous garden parties, sumptuous weddings, amazing dinners or sensational awards ceremonies. The list is endless as the spaces and gardens offer a variety of exciting and versatile spaces to hire.
The State Apartments are a succession of opulent, palatial rooms consisting of five venue spaces, The Privy Chamber, The Cupola Room, The King's Drawing Room, The King's Gallery and the Queen's Gallery. These spaces are available for private evening hire only.
Alternatively, the Kensington Palace Pavilion is available for both daytime and evening hire, accommodating lunches, away days and all day set up where required. This semi-permanent structure was erected in March 2018 to replace the Orangery whilst it undergoes restoration works. The Pavilion is a much larger, light and flexible space acting as a blank canvas to let your imagination run wild!
