Hampton Court Garden Open Day

Bring your picnic and watch the Coronation in the Hampton Court Palace Gardens this Saturday, amid live screenings, refreshments, and royal-themed souvenirs. Offering free access to the grounds on selected weekends, the Garden Open days will be taking place throughout the summer, but there’s no better place to celebrate this bank holiday than in the historical home of King Charles III himself. Head down to Richmond for a quintessentially British afternoon and settle down in the East Front Gardens, Privy Garden or Wilderness Garden.
