Members-Only Evening Tours

These evening tours offer a rare opportunity to go behind the scenes, after hours, when the palace is closed to visitors. Members will be taken on a full tour of the palace, including the Tudor undercoft (that predates ‘The Dutch House’ itself) and the atmospheric attics – complete with 17th Century witch markings!

Led by an expert guide in full Georgian attire, you will hear stories of Kew Palace in its prime, and uncover the people who lived, loved, and lay in state there. Predominantly, George III and Queen Charlotte.

For the duration of this tour only, you will not need to purchase admission to Kew Gardens, however please be aware that tickets to visit Kew Gardens are not included in this event ticket.

Kew Palace and the undercroft are both accessed by a handful of steps. Inside, there is a large staircase to access the upper floors. Please be aware that the staircase to the attic is small and steep. There is a lift inside the palace which provides access to the ground, first and second floors only. Please email us with any accessibility concerns at members@hrp.org.uk prior to booking.
