The Katharine of Aragon Tudor Banquet

Picture the scene: the year is 1513. England has triumphed at the Battle of Flodden. Under the leadership of Queen Katharine of Aragon, the nation celebrates victory – and what better way than with a grand banquet in true Tudor style?

Step into the splendour of Tudor England at Peterborough Cathedral’s Katharine of Aragon Tudor Banquet...

Begin your evening with an exclusive private view of an art gallery showcasing works by students from Peterborough College, where selected pieces will be available to purchase. Guests will then be welcomed into the South Transept for pre-dinner drinks and mead before being escorted to the grand banqueting hall.

A magnificent feast awaits: platters of roast meats and seasonal vegetables, accompanied by wine and mead. Throughout the evening, minstrels will play, a lively jester will entertain, and members of Katharine of Aragon’s court will bring the Tudor period to life in regal style.

To complete the experience, guests are invited to don period dress, with costume hire available from the renowned wardrobe at Tolethorpe Hall.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of history, music, and merriment within the majestic setting of Peterborough Cathedral.
