Everyone welcome to join the family fun on Sunday
Sunday June 16, 1pm - 4pm
The Bishops of London were well known for holding garden parties at Fulham Palace, and we are continuing the tradition with a day of family fun!
Free, no booking needed, all ages welcome, takes place in the gardens. A lovely way to celebrate Father’s Day with the whole family.
Sunday June 30, 2pm - 4pm
Join Thames Explorer Trust for some ‘mudlarking’ on the Thames Foreshore to discover what archaeological remains can found there, such as pottery, smoking pipes, tiles and Victorian drain pipes. The walk will be led by an experienced member of staff from the Thames Explorer Trust, who will be able to tell you something of the history of the Palace and its relationship to the river as well as help identify anything you may find.
The foreshore is muddy, so wear walking boots or wellingtons as footing can be slippery. The walk will last between 1.5 and 2 hours and starts from Fulham Palace’s Tudor Courtyard by the fountain.
Adults £8, children £5, payable on the day. To book email foreshore-walks@thames-explorer.org.uk or call 0208 742 0057.
Please note, the foreshore steps are steep and inaccessible for wheelchairs, prams or pushchairs.

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.
