Tracy Borman - Tudors on Tour various locations

Tracy Borman's Tudors on Tour events are  running from the 1st October to the 2nd November 2026.    Starting in Buxton Opera House and finishing in The Apex Bury St Edmunds.   There are 28 opportunities to see this fantastic and informative show.  

The Tudors are big box office – and it’s easy to see why. With larger-than-life monarchs, gripping court intrigue, epic battles, forbidden love, and more than a few beheadings, no other royal dynasty captures the imagination quite like this one.

Now, in Tudors on Tour, historian, broadcaster and bestselling author Tracy Borman OBE, Chief Historian at Historic Royal Palaces and one of the UK’s most trusted voices on Tudor history, brings the secrets of this iconic royal family to the stage in a thrilling, theatrical experience.

From Henry VIII’s six wives to Elizabeth I’s private world, from Shakespeare and spies to scandals behind the palace walls, this is the real Tudors, revealed in all their glory, filth, glamour and gore.

Using stunning visuals, props, costume, film and music, this is far more than a history lecture. It is a live show with spectacle, taking audiences behind closed doors to uncover the truth about the dynasty that changed England forever.

Tudors on Tour offers a unique chance to see the real stories behind the exam topics come vividly to life. Whether you’re revising Henry VIII’s break from Rome, exploring Elizabethan England, or trying to remember who married who and why it all went so wrong, this immersive show makes the Tudors unforgettable.

Expect insights you won’t find in textbooks, vivid visuals that bring the past to life, and plenty of surprising facts to impress your parents and teachers.

Familiar stories are told afresh, from the truth behind the ‘Virgin Queen’ to shocking secrets including Henry VIII’s hygiene habits and Elizabeth’s court astrologer-turned-spy, codenamed 007: the Tudor James Bond.

A bold, unforgettable journey through the private lives of the kings and queens who defined an era.

Whether you’re a history buff, a theatre lover or simply Tudor-curious, Tudors on Tour is the must-see show that pulls back the velvet curtain on the most dramatic royal family in British history.
