Royal Explorations at Upton House & Gardens to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee
2 June- 4 Sep (normal admission applies, donations welcome). More information here.
We're celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee with a right royal summer in the house and outside in the gardens. Little princes and princesses can pick up a special royal trail and explore Upton's connections to kings and queens past and present.
We have a self led tour for adults too and you may come across one of our week day pop-up talks featuring fascinating stories about royal pomp and patronage, fashion and wealth, associated with these collection items. Talks will start from 23 May until mid September on weekdays only.
Please note, pop up talks will run mid week days only and are subject to availability and last minute change. They are delivered on an ad hoc basis and do not need to be booked. More information will be available at Visitor Reception.
