Calling all kids! Dennis and his pals from Beanotown need your help this summer.

Dennis, Minnie, Harsha, Rubi and Gnasher were late for their Bash Street School trip to Henry VIII's palace. To save the day, Dennis has turned his go-kart into a time machine with Rubi's flux capacitor - but "whoops"! it has malfunctioned and crash-landed in Hampton Court Palace. Now the timeline's in a right royal muddle and Henry VIII is not amused. It's utter chaos!

It's up to YOU to help the Beano friends fix their busted time machine. Grab your special Hampton Court Palace Beano comic strip story on arrival, packed with clues to track down the missing pieces scattered around the palace. Keep your eyes peeled for real-life Hampton Court Palace history-makers who've been 'court up' in the chaos.

Continue the adventure

Once you've helped the Beanotown crew, carry on the fun at the palace where kids rule. Don't miss causing a little chaos of your own in the kids-only Magic Garden playground. Get lost in the blamazing maze, explore the 60-acre gardens, picnic like kings and queens in the gardens, or get yourself a tasty treat from the café.

Come face-to-face with famous characters

Costumed performers will be roaming inside the palace throughout the day. The performers may be doing something silly, but please remember to treat them with respect. We're sure they'll be happy to pose for photos if asked kindly but remember to give them space.
