Fulham Palace

There was merriment and music during our recent reopening weekend - our Tudor May Day was a big success, and the first of our new monthly family fun days. Visitors got to meet the May King and Queen, dance around a maypole, as well as see falconry displays and join in lots of hands-on activities.
A big thanks to everyone who attended and all our volunteers (who also took these wonderful pictures). Join us for our next free family fun day, 'Designed By Dunstan' on June 23 - https://www.fulhampalace.org/…/family-f un-day-designed-by-…/

Breaking news - our 'starring' role on this morning's BBC Breakfast show can now be viewed on UK iPlayer (but only until 9.15am tomorrow). Meteorologist Sarah Keith-Lucas broadcast live all morning from the Palace & chatted with our Community Archaeologist (1 hr 46 in): https://www.bbc.co.uk/i…/episode/m0005j nw/breakfast-29052019

Crumbs! Today is 'National Biscuit Day' so our drawing room cafe has produced some freshly baked cookie biscuits to celebrate. And if cakes are more your thing, we also have a selection of delicious sweet treats. Our cafe is open daily from 9.30 -17.00. Info : https://www.fulhampalace.org/visit/cafe/< br>

For all you early risers, tune into BBC Breakfast News this morning to see the weather forecasts live from Fulham Palace plus meteorologist Sarah Keith Lucas (pictured) will be chatting with our Community Archaeologist Alexis Haslam. It looks like Edmund the Palace Cat may also want a starring role...

Garden goodness - our gardening volunteers have been busy in recent days, harvesting the broad beans and planting up the herbaceous pollinators border in our walled garden. To see the fruit (and veg!) of their labour, visit our walled garden daily from 10.15- 16.15.

A photo finish - after receiving close to 200 entries, we’re pleased to announce the Fulham Palace photography contest winners and shortlisted images. The standard of entry was very high and a big thanks to all those that were inspired by our beautiful house and garden and submitted photos : https://www.fulhampalace.org/…/the-pala ce-photo-competitio…/

In case you didn't catch it last night, we were on BBC London evening news. The clip is only online until 18.00 this evening, so watch it now to see how we've changed! (our bit is at 16 minutes in)
Our reopening is on Saturday, so visit us this weekend to be one of the first to see our brand new museum.

Take a peek behind the scenes as we prepare for our re-opening!

On Sunday 26 May immerse yourself in a unique Tudor experience - make candles, May crowns and meet birds of prey! If you like costumes, wear your best Tudor gown and join our May Day procession for your chance to be crowned May King or Queen: https://www.fulhampalace.org/whats-on/eve nts/tudor-may-day/

This photograph was taken this week - 100 years ago! It is from a photo album belonging to Sister Mary Latchmore, a nurse at Fulham Palace when it was a war hospital. Every page tells a different story - find out more in our latest blog: https://bit.ly/2WapzUf

Missed May Day this year? Step back in time, to 1 May 1660 at our Tudor May Day on 26 May. Be thrust into a world of minstrels, birds of prey and candle rolling - you might even want to wear your best Tudor doublet and participate at our costume competition. If your costume is the best you will be crowned King or Queen of May!

What will you discover when we reopen?
