‘Still The Hours’ is a brand-new, hour long after hours promenade audio-led experience at Hampton Court Palace for International Women’s History Month.  

Through this richly layered soundscape you will hear echos from the women who lived or worked in the palace from a suffragette to a mistress, and from a queen to a maid.

RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey caught up with Claire Doherty MBE, Writer and Director of ‘Still The Hours’ to find out more about this amazing audio experience, finding out about some of the Actors who gave their voices to the characters including Kathryn Hunter and Miranda Richardson along with young Actors from Rose Youth Theatre Kingston and over 50 current female staff from Hampton Court Palace too.  

Claire also talks about working with Kaite O’Reilly on ‘Still The Hours’ and how Kingston Association for the Blind helped with the Project too. 

Entries to Still The Hours at Hampton Court Palace run every 15 minutes from 6pm to 8pm each evening up to and including Sunday 30 March 2025.
