KEW PALACE
Kew Palace was built in 1631 for Samuel Fortrey, a Flemish merchant, and later acquired by George II in 1729 as lodging for his three eldest daughters. His son, George III and his large family used Kew Palace extensively between 1801 and 1804 as their Summer retreat and it was first opened to the public by his granddaughter Queen Victoria.
In 2006, the palace was reopened to the public after a painstaking, ten-year restoration and conservation project undertaken by Historic Royal Palaces.
Kew Palace is open between April and October and is a welcoming place to visit. This former royal residence provided sanctuary to George III who stayed here when he disappeared from public life and it was also here that the Royal Family gathered in 2006 for an intimate meal to celebrate HM The Queen’s 80th birthday.
For all of its historical importance and regal elegance, Kew Palace provides a stately yet homely ambience and comfortable luxury for small dinner parties and drinks receptions. The perfect venue for an English summer evening spent with friends or colleagues.
Guests are also able to take a tour during their event to learn more about the history of the palace and the people who lived here.
LOCATION
