Hello, Parliamentary sessions are designed to be family friendly - for visitors and Members and so recess usually coincides with school holidays. This means that during July and August, there are usually no formal parliamentary business sessions. However, the building remains open and we operate guided tours on most days. Guided tours are very popular with visiting groups and include visits to parts of the building that are inaccessible for tour parties during debates, so I am sure your Scouts would enjoy a tour. Booking in advance is recommended.
Q:
do you open at boxing day?

No it’s not.
