Famous for its association with Katharine of Aragon, the present-day Kimbolton Castle is an early 18th century masterpiece by Vanbrugh and Hawksmoor with impressive pieces of art, including works by Pellegrini and Lely.
For the first time, we are delighted to offer an exclusive guided tour of this historic and fascinating building, led by Andrew Bamford, Curator of Kimbolton Castle. Andrew will delve into the hidden history of the castle as you explore the sumptuous state rooms, Chapel, Queen's bedchamber and boudoir, courtyard, main staircase and more.
The tour concludes with an afternoon tea and a glass of fizz, served in the Saloon with its giant fluted Corinthian pilasters and columns, splendid marble fireplace and paintings of kings, queens and dukes. Join us for an unforgettable experience!
