Special Events
Step back in time at our famous Historical Re-Creations of everyday life from Medieval to WWII.
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. With over 30 years experience, we offer the biggest, most comprehensive and authentic Tudor experience anywhere. Life is re-created 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.
