I know it’s Christmas and you may have rather a lot on your plate (in more ways than one!), but I just wanted to let you know this piece of news.
Our sister site, the Tudor Society, has teamed up with British History Tours to offer Tudor history tours. Our very first tour, The Anne Boleyn Experience 2018, which is taking place in May, is fully booked, but we have just launched a new tour for September 2018, the Discover the Tudors Tour!
There is an early bird discount for the first 8 places booked, so that’s why I wanted to let you know ASAP. The first 8 places are £2800 per person, instead of £3100, a saving of £300! The tour is from 16th to 24th September.
I’m really excited about this tour, 1) Because I’m going on it, 2) Because it visits some of my very favourite places in the UK (including my hometown!), and 3) Because I will get to meet some of you lords and ladies! I can talk Tudor to my heart’s content!
