Tower of London Home Educator Day, Friday 31 January 2025

Explore the long and sometimes gruesome history of the Tower of London. Join in object sessions that showcase over 1000 years of Tower history and meet our expert guides in historic costume, who will answer questions on subjects such as the Norman invasion and the Tudor Court. An art and craft activity will also be available during the day.

Also distributed will be a voucher entitling every child attending the Home Educator’s Day to a kid’s lunch box at the Tower’s onsite New Armouries Cafe for the discounted cost of £5 (or £6 for a kid’s hot meal).
