Occasionally some room closures may affect your visit to the Queen's House.
The vast majority of artworks on display, including the Armada Portrait of Elizabeth I, will still typically be accessible to all visitors.
However, some areas of the House, such as the Great Hall and Tulip Stairs, may be unavailable. Access to toilets may be limited at times.

Reason |
| 18 May | Closure of the Great Hall, Governor’s Parlour and Van de Veldes Studio. Capacity to visit the rest of the house will be greatly limited. | All day | Due to our Caribbean Takeover event, access to the Great Hall, Governor’s Parlour and Van de Veldes Studio will be limited to those attending talks taking place in those areas. Visitors will need a wristband to attend talks - these will be available on a first-come, first-served basis on the day. Access to the rest of the Queen’s House will be greatly limited and the event is expected to be very busy, so we advise those not attending Caribbean Takeover to consider visiting the Queen's House another day. Learn more about the event here. |
