Kensington Palace is now enchanted!
A new unique experience combining fashion, performance, and dazzling spectacle reveals Kensington’s magnificent State Apartments in a magical new light.
The acclaimed UK theatre company WILDWORKS have cast a spell over the palace, creating a mysterious and atmospheric world for visitors to explore.
Against the backdrop of the King’s and Queen’s apartments, leading fashion designers Vivienne Westwood, William Tempest, Stephen Jones, Boudicca, Aminaka Wilmont and illustrator/set designer Echo Morgan have created spectacular installations, inspired by the stories of the princesses who once lived at Kensington – Mary, Anne, Caroline, Charlotte, Victoria, Margaret and Diana.
These extraordinary contemporary designs are displayed alongside historic items from the Royal Collection and Kensington Palace’s Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection, together with two dresses worn by Diana, Princess of Wales and Princess Margaret.
The complex and mysterious world of the royal court will be opened up through dreamlike installations, interactive theatre, intimate storytelling, soundscapes, haunting film projections, and a series of intriguing clues hidden throughout the historic rooms, revealing tales of love and hate, surprise and sadness, secrets and jealousy.
Each room will have a powerful story to tell about Kensington Palace’s former royal residents and the life of the court - a world within a world, with its own time and rituals.

A delicious afternoon tea at the stunning 18th Century Orangery within the Palace grounds, including:
An assortment of finger sandwiches
