Half price entry to Hampton Court Palace
If you enjoyed Wolf Hall, now is a good time to visit the film set at Hampton Court Palace, where half-price admission is available as part of a winter special offer.
Most of Wolf Hall was filmed elsewhere, but for the latest series, they were allowed to film in the palace itself, including the Great Hall, possibly the first time that’s ever been allowed for a drama series.
Hampton Court Palace is a very large estate, and you can easily spend a whole day there, looking around the historic buildings, the chapel, and the gardens, which are pretty spectacular even in winter.
A typical adult ticket to visit at the weekend would usually set you back £30, but for a few weeks, it’s just £15 per person and £13.60 if you can visit during the week.
Tickets must be booked online in advance of the visit date (booked at least one day prior to the visit date, purchases must be completed by midnight GMT). You cannot buy tickets on the day from the palace itself — only online.
The offer is valid from 8th January through to 7th February 2025 inclusive and includes the entire Palace and gardens, except the Magic Garden which is closed for winter.
When booking tickets, the full price will be shown, but once you select the number of tickets and the date you want, then the correct half-price offer will be shown.

Getting to Hampton Court Palace
The easiest way is to catch the train to Hampton Court station, which is just a few minutes walk from the Palace.
I’d recommend checking the departure times home though, as there are usually just two trains an hour. This way, you can time your departure from the palace so you’re not waiting for a train.
SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE
This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.
It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.
Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.
