Visit us

Visit The King’s Foundation at one of our historic sites. Explore our headquarters at Dumfries House in Ayrshire, tour the gardens at Highgrove in Gloucestershire, or stay at the Castle and Gardens of Mey in Caithness, Scotland.

Dumfries House

Dumfries House is the headquarters of The King’s Foundation. The House displays one of the largest collections of Chippendale furniture in the world. The wider estate is open to the public for the local community and other visitors to enjoy and has an extensive education campus offering nature-inspired learning and traditional craft skills programmes.

Highgrove Gardens

The King’s Foundation has been the custodian of the iconic series of gardens that surround the much-loved private residence of King Charles III and Queen Camilla since 2021. The gardens are open to the public between April and October, with all proceeds helping to fund our education courses which take place on site at specialist woodworking and embroidery workshops.

The Castle and Gardens of Mey

The Castle of Mey was the cherished holiday home of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother from 1952 until 1996, set in the beautiful landscape of Caithness, Scotland. The Castle’s facilities include a former granary building which has been developed into luxury bed and breakfast accommodation, a conference centre and a wedding venue.

The Garrison Chapel

The King’s Foundation occupies the Grade II-listed Garrison Chapel in the former Chelsea Barracks to publicly exhibit elements of our work. Exhibitions emphasize traditional arts and heritage craft skills, in addition to special exhibits and events.
