Tudor Matchmaking: meet Henry VIII and his suitors at Ludlow Castle

Sun-Mon 27-28 August 2023 Tudor Matchmaking: meet Henry VIII and his suitors at Ludlow Castle

Henry VIII has a big problem (only one!) – he needs to find himself another Wife (has he not got enough?)

Henry is bored with all the conventional methods and so, upon the advice of his right-hand man Thomas Cromwell, he is prepared to try something innovative and new!  So, let the fun begin!

Will any of the contenders live up to his high expectations?  Can they navigate and survive the strict selection process?   Will they live happily ever after?

Or Maybe YOU have the right credentials to fill the role?

Despite what you might think, The Tudor Court wasn’t all politics and executions (well for some it might have been!) they also knew how to have some fun, so make a date to come and join us for our unique, fun family-friendly factual show at Ludlow Castle this August Bank Holiday.

You will have to join us to discover just who will be the lucky (?) Royal Bride to be!

Past-Times Living History will be on hand to entertain, enlighten, and engage with you ALL so do bring along some questions to ask!   Along with two performances per day there will be lots of photo opportunities to capture your memories of a brilliant day in the grounds of the beautiful historically important Ludlow Castle.

All the entertainment is included within your ticket price plus there is so much more to see and explore!

Don’t miss these amazing events!
