King Henry's Tudor Joust
THIS ARCHIVED EVENT ENDED ON THE 21ST JUNE 2009
Nearby King Henry's Tudor Joust

See Eltham Palace as it was when Henry VIII lived here with jousting knights and an appearance by the king himself. Thundering hooves, courtly music and costumed characters show the palace and grounds as they would have been 500 or so years ago. Engaging in battle on foot and horseback was one of Henry's favourite pasttimes - he spent much of his reign at war with France - and this show of pagentry harks back to the Tudor way of life once seen here.About Eltham Palace
Restored by English Heritage, this fantastic house offers visitors the chance to indulge in the opulence of 1930s Britain whilst at the same time experiencing the solidity and symbolism of medieval London. Eltham Palace began to evolve during the 15th century when Edward IV commissioned the Great Hall, which survives today as a testament to the craftsmanship of the period. More about Eltham Palace
