Discover History for Free with the Community Access Scheme

Local community groups across Kingston and surrounding areas have an exciting opportunity to access some of the UK's most iconic historic sites free of charge through the Community Access Scheme (CAS) run by Vicky Stevens and the team at Historic Royal Palaces. 

The scheme provides community groups with free entry to Hampton Court Palace, the Tower of London, and Kensington Palace, helping more people experience these remarkable historic landmarks regardless of financial barriers.

Group Leader Training

Community organisations interested in joining the scheme are invited to attend one of the following Group Leader Training at Hampton Court Palace on:

• 24 or 25 September
• 11:00am – 3:00pm

The training includes an introduction to the programme, a palace tour, practical guidance on organising group visits, networking opportunities with other community leaders, and a light lunch.

After completing the training, you’ll be officially welcomed into the scheme and able to book visits for your group to the above palaces.

This is a fantastic opportunity for voluntary and community organisations to offer enriching cultural experiences to their beneficiaries, volunteers and community members.

Spaces are limited. We will operate a waiting list should we reach capacity.

If you’re unable to attend these dates, our next training will take place in Spring 2027.
