Press visits

Please note: the press visit form below is currently not working and we are working to resolve the issue. Please email [email protected] with your request as below.

Press visits to the official residences can be arranged through Royal Collection Trust's Press Office for media who review, feature or write on the arts, heritage and travel. Limited press tickets are available, and we unfortunately cannot provide free press tickets to all those who request them.

Press visits must be arranged with a minimum of two working days' notice by submitting a Press Visit Application Form.

Please note that due to exceptionally high levels of interest in the Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style exhibition, we have a very limited number of press tickets available for commissioned reviews for national media outlets only.

Due to exceptionally high levels of interest, we are not able to supply any press tickets for the Summer Opening of Buckingham Palace or for Exclusive Guided Tours at the royal residences.

We hold dedicated Press Views for every exhibition, please contact the Press Office for more information.

Please note:

  • When requesting a press visit, please outline details of your commission or planned feature.
  • Please check the Visit pages for opening dates and times before requesting a visit.
