Jackie's Lucy Mayer talks to head of Hampton Court Palace Lucy Hutchings about life after Coronavirus and how visitors will be the key to the Palace's long-term survival


Hampton Court Palace is preparing for phase 2 of its re-opening a week today.

Historic Royal Palaces, which manages six sites including the palace, is expected to lose £95 million this year because of lock-down.

The gardens opened at the end of June, but some interior spaces will open to the public again next Friday.

Lucy Hutchings is Head of Hampton Court Palace.

She 's been chatting to Jackie's News Editor Lucy Mayer about how they are going to move forward into the "new normal" and why everyone in the area should consider supporting the charity.
