The History of Hampton Court Palace at Christmas

Event Date: Tuesday 17 December 2024    |    Time: 7pm – 8pm

Join us for a trip behind the closed doors of Hampton Court Palace to explore the private lives, loves and scandals of the most celebrated royal dynasty in history. And, with Christmas just around the corner, what better time to get some background information about what the festive season was like at Hampton Court?

In this online member-exclusive event, Historic Royal Palaces’ Chief Curator and Tudor historian Dr Tracy Borman will bring us some fascinating new angles on familiar stories, such as Henry VIII’s turbulent marital history, as well as lesser-known insights into the palace and the lives of people who were part of Henry’s court.

Tracy will be delving deep into the private lives of the Tudor royals – looking at what they ate, how they dressed, the state of their health and hygiene and, of course, their love affairs. This is the Tudors as you’ve never seen them before and, be warned, it’s not always a pretty sight.
