Travel Back in Time: Tudor Dress-Up

Get hands-on with history and experience Tudor fashion for yourself at a pop-in experience.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Join us in the house for interactive Tudor-themed games and activities. Create your own Tudor family portrait with a selection of fantastic costumes and discover what your clothing would have said about your status and identity in Tudor times. Perfect for families looking for a shorter visit, this pop-in experience offers a lower-cost way to enjoy the house, giving you the chance to take part in the dressing-up activities without touring the entire house.

Step into the world of the Tudors, strike a pose for your family portrait, and uncover the stories hidden within fabrics and textiles.
