EXCLUSIVE GUARD CHANGE AT THE BARRACKS

With Specialist Blue Badge Guide

Overview

Step behind the scenes of one of Britain’s most prestigious military institutions with this extraordinary and privileged experience inside the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment Barracks. Accompanied throughout by an expert Blue Badge Guide, you will be granted exclusive access usually reserved for members of the monarchy and military. Explore the private heart of the regiment, witness firsthand how the cavalry prepares for ceremonial duties, and gain a deeper understanding of the training, discipline, and equestrian excellence required to guard the King and serve the nation. This is an intimate encounter with living history, offering unrivalled insight into the daily life and traditions of one of the oldest and most prestigious regiments in the British Army.

Your morning begins inside the barracks as you observe the troopers assemble and undergo inspection before the Changing of the Guard – a rare spectacle usually witnessed only by serving personnel. From there, follow the mounted regiment to Horse Guards Parade before enjoying privileged entry to the Household Cavalry Museum, where you will be personally welcomed by the museum curator for a private tour and historical briefing. This extraordinary experience is limited in availability and entirely unique – a one-off opportunity to witness the pride, ceremony, and centuries-old heritage of the Household Cavalry from a perspective few ever experience.
