February Half Term at the Tower of London
Criminal mastermind, Colonel Blood, and his audacious gang are up to no good at the Tower of London this February Half Term. But what exactly are they planning? Find out in this fun, family-friendly costumed performance.
Set in 1671, the newly made Crown Jewels were being held in the Martin Tower for safekeeping, and curious visitors could pay a small fee to see them.
The jewels had been completed just ten years earlier for the coronation of King Charles II, at vast expense. But, as you’ll find out, not every visitor hoping to make friends with the Keeper of the Crown Jewels could be trusted.
