Feasting With A Tudor King – Historic Royal Palaces’ “Henry on Tour” – Double Bill

Feasting With A Tudor King - Historic Royal Palaces' "Henry on Tour" - Double Bill

 

Have you ever wondered what would have happened if Henry VIII made an official Royal Visit to Exeter?

Join us in Exeter from 13th – 20th June for a range of Tudor festivities and living history as part of Historic Royal Palaces’ Henry VIII on Tour. The tour continues towards Powderham Castle from 17 to 23 June to celebrate Henry VIII’s close friendship with his cousin, Henry Courtenay, Marquess of Exeter.

Book our double bill for … hosting Henry VIII

We are delighted to welcome Professor Anthony Musson from Historic Royal Palaces to tell us all about feasting in Tudor times. What would it have been like to feast with the king?

And after the talk and Q&A, we have a special treat for you: join us for a show-and-tell in our old kitchens to see some of the food preparation in action!
