Restoration and Conservation Tours

9th January – 10th February 2023

Learn about the work we do on the magnificent rooms and artefacts, hearing from experts on the methods we use to restore and repair the building and collections within it. 

The tour is free with your Palace, Park and Gardens ticket, Annual Pass or Privilege Pass. All funds that we raise through admission charges are invested back into these ongoing restoration and conservation projects that keep the Palace, its contents and its surroundings as glorious today as they have always been.

Tours are running twice a day on selected dates from 9th January – 10th February 2023 and last around 45 minutes.

Join us at the bottom of the Palace steps at 11.00 or 14.00.

What to expect on your tour

  • Find out how the collection is cared for in the Palace,
  • See conservation cleaning in progress (subject to schedules),
  • Find out how tapestries, paintings, clocks, and the actual structure of the building are brought back to their original condition, and
  • Learn how we achieve all of the above with the limitations of budgets and constant visitor flow.
