Schools’ Tudor Days (Midsummer)

24th, 25th, 26th and 27th June 2025

We are currently taking provisional bookings for 2025!

Whatever period of history may be studied  from the distant past to about the year 1800 daily life for the majority changed but little. People may have dressed and spoken differently in every period but it's not necessary to experience the precise conditions of a given era to understand the basic concept that life in some respects constantly evolved whilst in many other remained the same.

Your students will experience a fully-immersive hands-on visit where they encounter a community living as if in Tudor times.  They will see  people going about their daily business dressed, talking and behaving as if they were actual figures from the past. A real time-travel experience, at a genuine Tudor Manor. The distinctive feature of a Kentwell Re-Creations is that visiting pupils spend an engrossing three hours or more without a break in the past and may begin to think themselves back in time. The past is a foreign country and for a time children visit it at a Kentwell Re-Creation.

Such total immersion is not available anywhere else.

The Re-Creation provides unrivalled enrichment for the study of all aspects of past life, from food preparation to crafts, from longbow archery to music & dance.  Suitable for KS2, KS3 and GCSE students.

Important Information

  • Our Midsummer Schools Only Days fall on Tuesday 24th, Wednesday 25th, Thursday 26th, and Friday 27th June 2025.

  • We ask that schools arrive around 30 minutes prior to their booked entry time, to allow for a snack and toilet break prior to entry.

  • There are entry time slots every ten minutes from 9:00am until 14:00pm. E.g. 9:00am, 9:10am, 9:20am etc. Please note, each entry time slot has a max capacity of around 30 pupils. Subsequently, schools wishing to book in for upwards of 30 pupils will need to be booked in across two time slots.

  • You book for between 15 and 30 pupils (larger numbers need additional time slots) to enter as a group at a set time (to be strictly adhered to).

  • The group stays within the Re-Creation without a break (so as not to disturb the notion of having stepped back in time) for about 3 to 3.5 hours.

  • When booking coaches, schools should allow a further 30 minutes after exiting the Re-Creation (for snacks & WC etc).

  • We strongly recommend that primary aged children should come in costume. Kentwell provides easy to follow notes for making or adapting or (at worst) cheating these.

  • Kentwell provides these for those who book.

  • Payable upon returning the Confirmation of Booking Form.

  • Payable by return to Kentwell’s issued invoice about a fortnight before booked entry.

  • Please ether call, email events@kentwell.co.uk, or fill out the form below and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.

  • One supervising adult (free) for every ten or part ten children.
