Come and discover a slim, handsome Henry VIII with a lust for weapons and sport.

Marvel at the flexibility of his armour, take a look behind the scenes of a jousting tournament, learn about the chivalry and pageantry of the times and uncover the stories hidden in the famous painting of the Field of the Cloth of Gold.

Come and be amazed by the events of 500 years ago.
