Tudor Tales - Historical Interpretation for children

 

Tudor Tales are Historical Interpreters of the Henrician period. I am a historian and historical re- enactor, I also have a medical background with qualifications in aromatherapy and alternative and natural therapies.
I have several years experience working with children in local schools and at the Weald and Downland Museum, The Mary Rose Museum amongst others.
My partner is a costumed interpreter and Tudor cook with extensive knowledge in the period and clothing. Our clothes are historically accurate in design and construction, with great attention to detail. We have presented at various historical events and shows, schools and societies such as the Women's Institute and the Wey Valley Lacemakers. Tudor Tales are happy to inspire adults as well as children, to the delights of our past.

The children’s school workshops are an introduction to the Tudor period and are designed to inspire the imagination using food, replica equipment and clothes. The historical facts used give a useful starting point to aid further study and appreciation. The classes are designed to be interactive and the children are encouraged to smell, touch and sample food items and to make something simple on the other courses.
