Living History Weekend: The War of the Roses & Early Tudor England
March 7 - March 8

Just what was Tudor life like in a castle such as Bolton Castle? See the daily chores that kept the castle fed, watered and running for its inhabitants. What was life under siege? Find out with a chance to see, feel and have a go at handling Tudor weapons. It’s a chance to really get under the skin of the Tudors with the sights as well as smells of castle life. Each day (12.15) our intrepid Tudor re-enactor leads a fascinating tour which opens a window on Tudor times where visitors are welcome to ask questions and get a real feel for the history of the castle. The weekend’s event takes place within the castle walls and spills into the gardens, so a lovely chance to enjoy all that Bolton Castle has to offer.
