The Tudor Songbook: More than just Greensleeves

Join us in the Great Hall this summer to hear some of the most exquisite music and songs from the Tudor period, accompanied by lute and in full glorious Elizabethan costume.

  • Booking essential

Experience history through the ears of the Tudors with a journey through the songs familiar to Henry VIII and his wives to the religious and court music known to Elizabeth I.

Step back in time as classically trained soprano Jay Britton presents The Tudor Songbook:More than just Greensleeves. Filled with intrigue, double meaning, declarations of love, melancholy and the heavens, the music of this age gives us a fascinating insight into life in the Tudor period, in as much detail and colour as the most elaborate tapestries.
