About This Event

Join us in the house to explore the famous Thomas More portrait through interactive games and activities. Recreate your own Tudor family portrait with a selection of fantastic costumes and discover what your clothing would have said about your status and identity in Tudor times. Perfect for families looking for a shorter visit, this pop-in experience offers a lower-cost way to enjoy the house, giving you the chance to see this remarkable painting and take part in the dressing-up activities without touring the entire house. Step into the world of the Tudors, strike a pose for your family portrait, and uncover the stories hidden within one of Nostell's most celebrated artworks.
