King Henry VIII has very special links to Gainsborough having visited with his fifth wife, Catherine Howard in 1541.
“While they’re here, visitors will also be able to catch the must-see exhibition of Tudor costumes, from the BBC’s critically acclaimed Wolf Hall, which shall be leaving us at the end of August, so don’t miss out.”
Meet King Henry between 11am and 4pm in the Great Hall. Entry included in the Gainsborough Old Hall admission fee.
Entry to Gainsborough Old Hall is £8.50 for adults, £6.70 for concessions, £4.20 for children aged five to 17-years-old. A family ticket is available at £21.20. Under fives go free.
