Enjoy Shakespeare's As You Like It on the main lawn
Friday July 26, 7.30pm
Shakespeare’s ultimate romantic comedy, performed outdoors on our main lawn!
Four people find their perfect soulmates in the Forest of Arden. One pair leap straight into bed, another are instantly struck by each other’s beauty, the third torment each other endlessly – while the fourth enjoy a courtship that is so witty and playful that love itself is stretched to the limit. But pitted against political intrigue, multiple disguises and overwhelming cynicism, can love win through in the end…?

Historical Tours
Fulham Palace consists of a Tudor manor house with Georgian additions and Victorian chapel – tours visit all areas open to the public and explore this rich history.
Tours begin outdoors with the history of the building and the gardens (weather permitting). Once inside, the group moves through the Great Hall, Victorian Chapel, Bishop Terrick Drawing and Dining Rooms, Bishop Sherlock’s Room and concludes in the two Museum rooms where permanent displays are exhibited. You can purchase a memento of your visit at the Museum shop.
Regular tours take place on the second and fourth Sunday and third Tuesday of the summer months.

Garden Walks
The gardens of Fulham Palace have a long history and are home to an array of interesting and unusual trees. They have been famous since the days of Bishop Grindal, who sent grapes to Elizabeth I, and were largely influenced by Bishop Compton, a great collector of plants.
Learn about the trees and how they came to be here, view the new vinery and hear about the progress so far and the future plans for the historic kitchen garden.
