Henry Vlll Regal Castle Experience
 Thornbury Castle was once owned by Henry who stayed here with his wife, Anne Boleyn. In this the 500th Anniversary year of the King and Queen's coronation, in which the builder of Thornbury Castle played such a major role, what a better time to experience such a wonderful Tudor Castle.
Now you have a chance to experience a little of what life was like for this great King … and you will be the only ‘royal residents’ in the castle. You could be excused for regarding the other hotel guests as your ‘subjects’!
The Castle Experience is a two night break in the Duke’s Bedchamber in which Henry and his Queen slept.
Located in the tower of the south wing, this bedchamber is octagonal with a four-poster bed and is reached via the original circular stone staircase, exactly as it would have been when Henry and Anne went to bed.
You will be treated like royalty from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave.
Dinner on one night will be a fabulous 5 course Royal Gala Dinner.
Seated on your ‘thrones’ at your own table on the balcony, with chalices of tumbling fruit, you’ll feel every bit the King and Queen of the Castle.
ln your wardrobe, you'll even find two hand-made regal robes allowing you to really 'dress to impress' while you dine.
The scroll menu will feature authentic dishes from the Tudor period, recipes from Hampton Court during Henry’s reign, especially created for you. (Naturally, if there’s something that doesn’t take your fancy, we shall gladly change it.)
