Henry VIII\u2019s Christmas Court

Immerse yourself in the world of the Royal Tudor court with this wonderfully festive experience which mixes yuletide tradition with Tudor re-enactment.
The young Henry VIII is entertaining his courtiers with lavish banquets, feasting, merriment, dancing, games and even a little jester magic!
King Henry is celebrating the festive season with his Queen, Catherine of Aragon, but tensions run high as sisters and rivals Mary and Anne Boleyn join the festivities at the Royal Christmas Court.
Will the dazzling and glamourous Anne, recently returned from the French Court, catch the Kings eye this Christmas? Or will her sister, fair Mary, already rumoured to be Henry’s mistress, be the favourite? And what of the neglected Queen – will Spanish tempers flair?
This live character re-enactment and performance will bring the past to life with humour, drama and a little Christmas magic!
Performances at 11:30am, 1:30pm and 3:30pm
Royal Christmas Procession: 10am and 4pm
Dancing and Music: 12:30pm and 2:30pm
