Why we'd go
Living historians who stay in character as Tudors make history feel real – children can ask them anything. One of the most memorable home ed days in the region.
Watch out for
It's in Suffolk, so a long drive from most of London and the South East. The home ed days come round only once or twice a year and get busy.
