Tudor Royalty Experience Day

Lady Samantha Invites you to Step Back in Time at the Beautiful Thornbury Castle

Tudor Queen Experience invites you to a unique and ultimate experience day. Step back in time and dress and be entertained as Tudor Royalty whilst enjoying the best food and drink the 21st Century has to offer.

Thornbury Castle was once owned by Henry VIII and visited by his Majesty and Queen Anne Boleyn during their Summer progress in 1535.

Thornbury Castle is located in the beautiful South West of England countryside, in the market town of Thornbury in North Bristol, near the Cotswolds. The only Tudor Castle in England that is run as a hotel.

The Tudor Royalty Experience Day begins at 10am and finishes at approximately 4pm.

** We can dress ladies in Historically Accurate gown from 30" up to 46" Bust. If you are outside these ranges I can offer a beautiful gown, but it will be theatrical instead of historically accurate and up to 54" bust size.

This is then followed by the most exciting activity of seeing and being dressed in beautiful Replica Tudor Clothing or Gown and jewels for the day. Including an historical dressing presentation.
We then go on a grand tour of the castle grounds in all your Tudor finery, where you have the opportunity for photographs in all different parts of the Castle. Lady Samantha will also give you a history talk about the castle and it's illustrious heritage during your tour.
We will then return to the Tudor Hall for luncheon, where you will dine on a wonderful hot buffet of delicious food and refreshments.
In the afternoon there will be a further opportunity to explore the castle and gardens.
We can then wander the grounds where we should come across the King's Falconer, Mr Cheeseman, and his amazing Birds of Prey. We can stop to hold the birds, have more photographs and see these amazing birds in flight.
Once you’ve tried your hand at Falconry, we will enjoy the most delicious, indulgent and quintessential Cream Tea, with hand made scones, Cornish clotted cream and strawberry jam.
We then return to the Tudor Hall to relax and return to the 21st Century whilst listening to the best Tudor Music of the time. A complimentary goblet of English Mead, a sweet wine made from honey which was a very popular drink amongst the wealthy of Tudor England, will then be served.
Alas this will then conclude your day as Tudor Royalty and we will de-gown and return to fully to the 21st Century. All the professional photographs will be sent to you by email during the following week.

You are of course welcome to also take as many photographs as you would like yourself, whilst of course respecting the privacy of the other Royal participants.

We look forward to welcoming you to Thornbury Castle
