Time to plan a Tudor day out in Peterborough!
The annual Katharine of Aragon Festival is taking place at Peterborough Cathedral and in partnership with Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery from January 24 to February 1.
There’s so much planned with something for everyone with a packed programme of events alongside a range of drop-in, family-friendly activities and services.
The festival celebrates the life and legacy of one of Tudor England’s most influential queens, Katharine of Aragon, who has her final resting place at Peterborough Cathedral.
There’s lots to keep the kids interested with a variety of drop-in events including Tudor craft sessions for children and families on:
Saturday January 31, 11.15am - 2.30pm and on Sunday February 1 at 1pm.
Helping to bring it all to life there’s the chance to encounter the Tudor court in full authentic costume on:
Saturday January 31, 11.15am – 2.30pm and Sunday 1st February 1 at 12.30pm
Both events operate on a donation basis with no booking required and offer a colourful and immersive insight into Tudor life. Families are also invited to complete the Katharine Trail on their visit to discover key moments in Katharine’s story throughout the building. Just ask at the welcome desk!
Alongside the Cathedral programme, Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery will be hosting a number of exciting festival activities, talks and workshops adding further opportunities to explore Tudor history through engaging events and experiences in the heart of the city.
