Buckingham Palace, A Royal Day Out including Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style exhibition.

Other than executive coach travel, what’s included in your Royal Day Out ticket?
A Royal Day Out ticket offers  admission to all three venues at Buckingham Palace: the State Rooms, The King’s Gallery and the Royal Mews.

The King’s Gallery
Your Royal Day Out will start with a visit to The King’s Gallery to see the exhibition Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style

Discover the remarkable style of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch through clothing worn in all ten decades of her life – from birth to adulthood, from princess to queen, and from off-duty style to dressing for the global stage for momentous occasions in Britain’s history.

Featuring approximately 200 items, many on display for the first time, this is the largest and most comprehensive exhibition of the late Queen’s fashion ever mounted.

Alongside clothing, jewellery, hats, shoes and accessories, explore never-before-seen design sketches, fabric samples and handwritten correspondence that reveal the behind-the-scenes process of dressing the most famous woman in the world and shed new light on the late Queen’s close involvement in the creation of her wardrobe.

Highlights include her bridesmaid dress, wedding dress, Coronation dress and the ensemble worn for the wedding of Princess Margaret.

Royal Mews

One of the finest working stables in existence and responsible for all road travel arrangements for The King and members of the Royal Family. You will see historic coaches and carriages, including the Gold State Coach and the Diamond Jubilee State Coach, the newest coach at the Mews.

The State Rooms
Your Royal Day Out will finish with a tour through the magnificent State Rooms in Buckingham Palace which are used by The King for ceremonial occasions and official entertaining. Each room is furnished with many of the treasures from the Royal Collection, including paintings by Rembrandt and Rubens; sculpture by Canova; and some of the finest English and French furniture in the world.

The day ends with a walk through the garden, with splendid views of the Palace and the famous lake.
