Kentwell Hall Tudor Recreation: Our Home Ed Adventures in Living History

Stepping through the gates of Kentwell Hall during their Tudor recreations transports you not just to another place, but another time entirely. For over 15 years, these immersive living history events have formed the cornerstone of our home education approach to history. My children have churned butter in the dairy, learned Tudor dances, crafted with period tools, and spoken in period English: experiences that have brought history to vibrant life in ways no textbook could match.

On this page, I’m sharing our journey with Kentwell, from preparation tips and costume-making resources to the profound learning that happens when children don’t just study history, but live it. These resources will help your family make the most of this extraordinary learning opportunity or a similar one near you, whether you’re considering your first visit or looking to deepen your historical knowledge with hands-on fun and exciting experiences.
