King Henry VIII’s Tudor Kitchens at Hampton Court Palace opened to the public 8th April 2006, communicating a living record of the scale of production that was necessary to nourish the Royal Court during major reforms of the Monarchy, Church, and Parliament that exist today.

The new multi-sensory presentation of the largest surviving Tudor kitchens in the world, is the culmination of a ten year research and experimentation project, undertaken by Palace Food Archaeologists with the aim to understand the kitchen’s dynamics, and an insight into how they were used during the European
Renaissance.
