Hear fascinating stories and get hands-on to make a Tudor candle of your very own to take home.

Hands-on History: Tudor Candle Making

Step back in time and discover how the Tudors lit their way in the dark without modern conveniences like light switches. On the Mary Rose, we found remains of tallow candles made from stinky animal fat. In contrast, wealthy Tudors indulged in sweet-smelling beeswax candles.

Join us for a hands-on history session where you can make your very own Tudor-inspired beeswax candle to take home!
