Overview

We will walk in the footsteps of kings and queens where history happened, from Henry VIII through to George II; see the magnificent State Apartments of both the Tudor and Baroque palace, Tudor kitchens, wine cellars, and of course the beautiful gardens including the Maze, Great Vine and Tennis Courts.
As a trained storyteller I will bring alive the stories and characters from the past, the loves of the notorious King Henry VIII and the lives of his six wives. Hear the tales of mistresses, betrayals and the ghosts that haunt the galleries.

What To Expect

Hampton Court Palace

As we enter through the Tudor Gatehouse it may feel as though we have stepped back in time to the 16th Century. Together we will explore the courtyards and Tudor Kitchens, we will sense the smells and sounds of a busy working environment where sumptuous meals were prepared by the many servants for the Court of King Henry VIII. We will ascend to the upper floors to view the magnificent Tudor State Apartments which includes some of the finest artwork and tapestries from the period such as the Abraham Tapestries and the painting of the Family of Henry VIII. Walk through the Great Hall and along the Haunted Gallery where I shall tell the ghost story of Catherine Howard, King Henry VIII's doomed fifth wife. Then we will move into the Baroque side of the palace built in 1689 by Queen Mary II & King William III to rival Versailes near Paris. We will see the magnificent gardens which include the world famous hedge Maze, the Great Vine, the Royal Tennis Court and the King's Privy Garden.
