Queen Anne Boleyn is returning to the Tower of London this summer school holidays

Accompanied by her two closest courtiers, she’ll be making her way through the Tower to meet her loyal subjects.

This is your chance to come face-to-face with one of history’s most fascinating Queens. You’ll be able to ask Queen Anne Boleyn a question, discover what life was like at the Tudor court and snap a selfie fit for royalty.

Just remember to mind your manners - this is Tudor England, after all.

This programme features a cast of three costumed performers who will be wearing Tudor dress.  It will take place on the South Lawn at various intervals between 11:00 and 15:30 daily.

The Tower of London is located just outside the City of London's boundary.
