For a family day out with a difference, visit the manor lost in time - step back nearly 500 years to meet the Tudors, and find out that history is anything but boring!
Over 100 of Kentwell's skilled living-history experts provide a fully interactive experience, spread throughout the buildings, gardens, farm and woodlands. See crafts and cooking, music and dancing and a whole community going about everyday life, as if you had travelled back in time. Spend a whole day lost in the sights, sounds and smells of the sixteenth century, at Kentwell.
Entry to the event also includes entry to the House, and to over 30 acres of beautiful family-friendly country house gardens and parkland.
An active day out for explorers of all ages!

Spring is a lovely time to visit Kentwell's Gardens. The shrubbery and back wood are carpeted with snowdrops, with little pockets of aconites. The rest of the gardens are charming as their winter starkness is banished by emerging springtime shoots.
