Groups and travel trade

Groups offering

Ticketed tours are available to groups from the UK and overseas on Saturdays throughout the year and on most weekdays during the February, Easter, Whitsun, Summer and Christmas recesses.

The Houses of Parliament offer a range of audio, guided and occasional themed tours, some of which include the option to add afternoon tea.

For most tours, group rates are available for groups of 10 or more if booked in advance.

We are happy to receive special requests from group bookers looking to develop tour packages including dining, hospitality and Parliament-related gifts. Please note that such requests can only be considered for times when the Houses are not sitting.
