A record-breaking number of visitors descended on Kentwell Hall to take a step back in time for a “hands-on” Tudor recreation event held over a week.
Visitors to the Long Melford attraction were treated to more than 250 costumed Tudors going about their daily routine as they would have in the 16th-century.
There were 40 activities for people to try during the family-friendly event, which ran from Sunday, August 20, until bank holiday Monday, including butter churning, cheese making and archery.
Visitors on Saturday were also invited to celebrate the “hand fasting” between two Tudor volunteers who exchanged their vows in a traditional ceremony – prior to their marriage next year.
More than 10 acres of the hall’s gardens were also available to visitors to enjoy during the week.
The Tudors are back at Kentwell Hall on September 23 and 24 for the Elizabethan Michaelmas event.
