HAMPTON COURT PALACE - Set on the banks of the River Thames surrounded by parkland, the earliest remaining buildings date back nearly 500 years.

We will see the state apartments, containing a large part of the Queen's art collection , and also visit the spectacular formal gardens, set in over 60 acres. To commemorate the 500th anniversary of his accession to the throne, there will be an exhibition entitled' Henry's Women", about his six wives and his dynastic quest with rarely seen portraits of each of the wives and Henry’s wedding, a re-enactment of his marriage to Catherine Parr, his sixth wife.
