LOCATION
Kenilworth Castle and Elizabethan Garden
SUITABLE FOREveryone
Edward II’s reign could most kindly be described as unorthodox, but many have called it disastrous. He was the first monarch of England to be forced to abdicate his crown, which transpired at Kenilworth Castle in 1327. But how much do you know about him, and the reasons behind his unusual reign?
Join our tour guide as we take you through the once grand inner court exploring the king's infamous rule, LGBTQ+ history, and the rumoured illicit relationships with certain 'favourites' of the court.
This event is graded as moderate access, as the tour involves some walking and may include some stairs or uneven terrain. Part of this tour takes place outside, so please wear suitable footwear and dress appropriately for the weather.
Bookings for this event will open on this page on Saturday 23 May.
