Join the Palace’s historic cooks in the Tudor Kitchens to find out what life working in the royal court was like in the 16th century.

Discover the roles required for the smooth operation of the palace and test if you have what it takes to work in the kitchens, turning the meat in front of the roaring fires.

After checking out the breath-taking Great Hall, children can let off steam and run wild in the Magic Garden, besiege the towers and storm the battlements of the mystical playground.

End the day by enjoying the thrill of being lost in the Wilderness as you explore the UK’s oldest surviving hedge maze.
