Fulham Palace

What a wonderful evening in the walled garden🌸 🥂 ✨

Last night we welcomed Patrons, Friends, supporters and guests to our annual Chair's summer garden party hosted by the Chair of Fulham Palace Trust Paul Gray. The evening was a celebration of the people whose generosity helps Fulham Palace thrive.

We were delighted to hear from our special guest, The Very Reverend Andrew Tremlett, Dean of St Paul's Cathedral and be joined by Her Worshipful The Mayor of Hammersmith and Fulham, Councillor Sharon Holder.

Events like this are an opportunity to thank those who support our work as an independent charity. Their contributions help us care for this remarkable site, deliver community programmes and share over 1,300 years of history with visitors.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for such a special evening!

Volunteering can mean different things to different people 💚

For some, it's about making new friends. For others, it's learning new skills, sharing knowledge, spending time outdoors or giving something back to their community.

As part of Volunteers' Week, we asked some of our volunteers what volunteering at Fulham Palace means to them.
