Event taking place inside The Orangery at Kensington Palace

Built in 1704, The Orangery sits within its own gardens and is a stunning venue for events all year round.

The level of decoration, including carved detail by Grinling Gibbons, reflects its intended use, not just as a ‘greenhouse' but as a ‘summer supper house' and a place for entertainment.
