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.

Please find below a table of confirmed House closures.
