Book tickets at Buckingham Palace

We have special offers available on tickets for Buckingham Palace Summer Opening.

 

The main Diamond Jubilee celebrations may have taken place last year but in 2013 we have the Coronation Festival, a four-day celebratory event marking the 60th anniversary of The Queen's Coronation. Over 200 companies who hold the Royal Warrant will be showcasing their crafts, industries, designs, innovations and more. Over the festival period, there will also be evening Gala performances showcasing British performing art talent. The unique event which takes place in the gardens of Buckingham Palace, The Queens London home, is open to members of the public who can buy a ticket for the daytime event (£30), or the evening Gala (£90), when the entertainment will be a celebration of music and dance over the past 60 years.

 

About Buckingham Palace

England's most famous royal palace, and the official residence of Queen Elizabeth II, Buckingham Palace opens the doors of its State Rooms to the public every summer. Book tickets for the summer opening of Buckingham Palace's State Rooms here. Originally acquired by King George III for his wife Queen Charlotte, Buckingham House was increasingly known as the 'Queen's House' and 14 of George III's children were born there.
