Tudor Days

Our Tudor days are unrivalled in scale, visitors immerse themselves in the sights, sounds and smells of the 16th Century. Kentwell is the originator of historical live Tudor events starting over 30 years ago. What we offer is still the biggest, most comprehensive, and most authentic Tudor experience you will get anywhere. We re-create life on a community scale, our entire historic house and estate are transformed into a 16th Century Manor, with up to 250 inhabitants of all ages, skills and wealth carrying out a huge variety of daily tasks.
