Historic Royal Palaces has thanked all those partners who have supported it over the past year by purchasing palace tickets or watching Crowdcast events hosted by Lucy Worsley. “To those who have been waiting in eager anticipation for all restrictions to ease, we look forward to giving your customers a royal standard welcome!”

HRP has also created a new Linkedin page, Historic Royal Palaces – Groups and Travel Trade, which will keep you up-to-date with the latest palace information, so please follow it now.

One highlight on the calendar for 2022 is Tulip Festival which is set to return to Hampton Court Palace from 20 April to 2 May. The gardens and courtyards at Hampton Court Palace will once again become a kaleidoscope of colour as over 100,000 bulbs will be planted.

As they wander round the spectacular floral displays set within iconic palace locations, your clients can expect to see the beautiful and distinct Rembrandt tulips nestled within the unique fringed Parrot Tulips.

Learn about the various species and their history, including why one variety sold for a price of a house, and ask our expert gardeners for their top tips on how to care for these spectacular flowers.

Tulip Mania will be included in palace admission and is guaranteed to add value to a tour itinerary.
