History of Christmas at the Palaces

From Tudor and Medieval Christmas tide celebrations, to Queen Victoria and Albert’s newer traditions, we’re re-releasing our Christmas episode to reveal the history of Christmas at our palaces.  

Curator Charles Farris is joined by Historic Kitchens Manager Richard Fitch, and Curator Lee Prosser, as they begin the holiday season with some festive tomfoolery.
