Visit The King's Observatory

BREAKING NEWS……. On account of the overwhelming demand we have experienced this year and the number of disappointed applicants that we have had to turn down, we have decided to add one more tour to the Open Days in the two weeks beginning 8th and 15th November.

Post 18th November, we will re-open the waiting list for next year.
Thanking you for your interest and support.

The house is packed with history and is a fine example of 18th Century Palladian architecture – the architect being Sir William Chambers who also designed Somerset House and Kew Garden’s famous Pagoda. The astronomical telescope cupola is believed to be the oldest of its type in the World.

2024 ticket prices will be £18 per adult and £13 concessionary (adults 60 years + and children 10 – 15 years.)

Thank you for your interest.
