Upcoming Executed Queens Tour

Last year's Anne Boleyn Experience group

I can’t quite believe how quickly the time has flown by since our May 2010 Anne Boleyn Experience and now I am packing for the Executed Queens Tour 2011 which starts on Sunday.

I am so excited about this tour, which is a brand new one this year. We have 24 attendees from lots of different countries – the UK, Ireland, the USA, Canada and the Netherlands – but we all have one thing in common, our love of Tudor history! It’s going to be so wonderful to discuss Tudor history all week, to get to know other Tudor history fans, to visit magical Tudor attractions, to stay at Hever Castle and to listen to our guest speakers and learn more about our favourite subject.

I will be doing a daily blog diary, but here us what we will be getting up to:-

Visiting the ruins of Bradgate House, Lady Jane Grey’s family home
Staying at the 17th century Bosworth Hall Hotel for three nights
Visiting Sheffield Manor Lodge, once the prison of Mary Queen of Scots
Visiting the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre
Staying at Hever Castle for three nights
Exploring Hever Castle and its gardens
Visiting the Tower of London on the anniversary of Anne Boleyn’s execution
Visiting Hampton Court Palace
Dining with and listening to Eric Ives, John Guy and Leanda de Lisle

Now can you understand why I am so excited!

I’m also happy that we have a few repeat attendees from last year’s tour, it’s so good to know that they enjoyed themselves.

Hello…please tell me you will be offering this tour in 2012!!! My husband has promised that I will finally get to England for my birthday next year, and I can’t imagine any other place I’d rather be than Anne Boleyns home. Please send additional info regarding tours for 2012. Thank you so much for keeping Anne alive for us.

  Hi Susan,
  I’ll send this reply as an email to you too. We actually have a few tours on offer for 2012, including The Executed Queens Tour. See http://www.historytoursofbritain.com/book-now/ for the tours and dates and then you can see the itineraries and other details at http://www.historytoursofbritain.com/tudor-tours/
  The Executed Queens Tour is split between Bosworth Hall Hotel and Hever Castle (3 nights at each) and The Anne Boleyn Experience is based at Hever, staying there 4 nights, so do have a look at those and see which one you prefer. Let me know if you need any further details or you have any questions.
  Kind regards,
  Claire
