Schools and Students

Hever Castle and Gardens is a popular choice for school visits, especially for those studying the Tudors.

School and student groups must pre-book to guarantee entry, as numbers have to be limited. Please telephone 01732 861701 to discuss your particular group’s requirements.

Meet a guide in the Miniature Houses exhibition who will explain about the day to day life in a Medieval House using the 1:12 scale model as an example.

A chance for children to dress up in simple cloaks to transform them into ‘Tudors’ while they walk round the Castle. A costumed guide will help them discover more about Tudor life, particularly the lives of the Boleyn Family, and Henry VIII’s courtship and tumultuous marriage to Anne Boleyn, the intriguing mother of Elizabeth I.

Take the Tudor Life Trail on a hunt around the Gardens for clues to solve the cryptic puzzle.
