Easter and summer recess offer public tours of Speaker's House, a richly decorated space within the Houses of Parliament. Introduced by Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle in 2022, these tours start from Westminster Hall and include significant areas like the Grand Staircase and State Dining Room. Tours last 75 minutes and cater to those over 16. Ticket prices vary, and profits support arts and educational projects related to Parliamentary democracy. The initiative reflects Hoyle's commitment to demystifying Parliament and engaging the public.
The current Speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, aims to open Parliament's estate to the public through semi-regular tours of the richly decorated Speaker's House, starting in 2022.
Public tours of the Speaker's House last around 75 minutes, including visits to important staterooms like the Crimson Drawing Room and State Dining Room, enriching visitors' understanding of history.
