To mark the historic occasion of The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, celebrations will take place throughout 2022 on the Sandringham Estate, the Country Retreat of Her Majesty The Queen in Norfolk.
A special exhibition inside the Ballroom at Sandringham House will go on display from 9th April – 13th October, with formal commemorative planting in the Gardens from May.

Highlights of the exhibition include objects and photographs relating to The Queen’s love of animals, horses and the great outdoors, as well as a special audio-visual display focusing on the very first Christmas Day speech broadcast from 1957, recorded by The Queen at Sandringham House.
