Open 11.00 - 4.00pm All Year
The Story Of Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn and Bolebroke Castle |
| |
The year is 1528. Henry is at Bolebroke for hunting and hawking, yet
his heart is set with Anne Boleyn and his mind is still in turmoil over
annulling his marriage to Catherine and his desire for a male heir.
Experience the audio tour bringing Henry's courting of Anne Boleyn to
life. Find out why he had six wives. Listen to Henry's thoughts and
musings. Find out what he caught whilst hunting. See how he feasted and
how life went on in the kitchens - hear the servants chattering about
goings on and what they thought about the king. Play a Tudor game.
Costumed figures together with artefacts and furniture make the
recreation of Tudor times fun and fascinating for both young and old.
