How will my support help?

Patrons of Historic Royal Palaces, Inc. provide essential support to Historic Royal Palaces in the UK, from helping fund world-class exhibitions and award-winning education programmes, to the conservation and care of the palaces and collections.  

Support from Patrons also enables us to conduct research into their rich history, and tell the stories of the palaces in new and inspiring ways. Beyond researching and telling histories, Historic Royal Palaces also cares for 1,000 acres of beautiful gardens and parks that immerse people in nature, promoting wellbeing as well as fostering biodiversity.
