Make a fool of yourself

A day at Hampton Court Palace is the best chance you'll get to make a fool of yourself and get away with it!

This weekend Henry VIII's favourite jesters are inviting you to enroll in their Fool School!

Leading the fun is the king's favourite jester Will Somer and his accomplice Jane. The two of them will holding classes around the palace's grounds teaching young and old how to juggle and walk on stilts.

Once you've finished joking around then you can sit back and relax listening to musicians recreating the classical sounds enjoyed by Georgian monarchs.

And don't forget there's the costumed tour guides, a family trail plus the huge maze all to enjoy later in the day.
