Special Focus Tour: Bellycheer! Feasting in England 1580-1640

Our annual Bellycheer! tour is back.

Bellycheer! Feasting in England 1580-1640 is a guided tour celebrating food and dining during the twelve days of Christmas.

Listen to a lively telling of uses of everyday foods, food preparation, historic recipes, rare spices, table etiquette, and customs on England’s annual feast days. Is food medicine? In a 17th century country house, food and medicine were often the same thing. Join tour guide Tracy Weldon to learn about these topics and more on a guided tour focusing on the dining parlor and Tudor Kitchen.

Take home historic recipes to try on your own.
