Hampton Court Palace Home Educator Experience at ‘Henry VIII on Tour’ Festival, Thursday 26 June 2025

Bookings are now open

Join us for our Tudor Festival, in the gardens at Hampton Court Palace, as we bring to life the sights, sounds and excitement of King Henry VIII and his court on tour.

The festival will attempt to recreate the colour, activity and atmosphere of a royal progress through a series of demonstration tents, performances and historical characters. Through vibrant, interactive and multi-sensory activities, learners will broaden their understanding of the Tudor world whilst having lots of fun! 

Home Educators will be given exclusive access to the outdoor festival site between 2.30pm- 4pm, as well as the opportunity to explore Hampton Court Palace and Gardens throughout the day.

The festival content is aimed at 7-14 year olds, though all ages are welcome.
