About This Event

Step inside the world of the Boleyns with historian and broadcaster Tracy Borman as she explores the inspiration behind her new novel. Set within the walls of Hever Castle, the Boleyn family's beloved home, it brings vividly to life the drama, ambition and intrigue that shaped one of England's most fascinating dynasties. It was here that the family celebrated, mourned, plotted and dreamed – and where Henry VIII first pursued the captivating Anne Boleyn. Drawing on decades of research and her unique perspective as Chief Historian at Historic Royal Palaces, Tracy goes beyond the familiar Tudor story to reveal the rivalries, ambitions and hidden tensions that lay behind the Boleyns' extraordinary rise and devastating fall. Join one of Britain's foremost Tudor historians to uncover the secrets of the house that witnessed it all. There will be a book signing after this event .
