Tudor Christmas

Set in the beautiful medieval King’s House, for one day only, the museum takes you back to yule tide in Tudor times. Step inside and experience the sights, sounds and fun festivities familiar to Henry VIII and his court.

The building will be decorated for Christmas as it may have been hundreds of years ago, and there will be a full day of entertainment for all ages with Tudor activities including:

• Feeling unwell? Meet the surgeon with his array of gruesome tools who might offer leeches or perhaps a light trepanning.
• Feeling peckish? Meet the Tudor cook who will show you how to make marzipan treats to impress, for the Tudor table.
• Set in the sumptuous King’s Room, an ostentatious replica feast will be displayed, containing some very strange delicacies.
• A team of crafty crafters will be with us throughout the day to help all your family make a Tudor souvenir to take home.
• Our storyteller with tales from the distant past to entertain
• The cutler will be here, showing off his skill in making the finest knives in the land

After all this you’ll need refreshments in the Museum Cafe!

Christmas with a historic twist? Come to the museum! A fun and fascinating day for all the family.
