A family-friendly adventure in the White Tower

Follow in the footsteps of historical figures and immerse yourself in over 1,000 years of history. Have a go at shooting arrows, brandishing a sword or firing a cannon with an English Civil War artillery captain.

Explore the origins of the White Tower

Arms and armour have been stored in the White Tower throughout the centuries, and many people based in or near the famous keep played an important role in defending the fortress. Enjoy a birds-eye view of the whole Tower of London and see how its defences expanded throughout the centuries.

Get your hands on the tools Norman master masons used to build a strong fortress to outlast any attack or uncover how medieval archers defended the King from within the White Tower. Learn about where Henry VIII’s armourers worked and find out why a cannon was installed on top of the White Tower in the 1600s.

In partnership with the Royal Armouries.
