After-hours guided tour of Chester Cathedral inspired by Katharine of Aragon, with a Q&A and drinks reception.
Katharine After Hours comes to Chester Cathedral on Tuesday 10 November, a VIP immersive performance tour built around the life of Katharine of Aragon. It's part of the cathedral's After Hours programme, so you'll be inside the building well after the usual visiting hours have passed.
The tour itself is an immersive performance, which means you're not just standing and listening to a talk; you'll be moving through the space while the story of Katharine of Aragon unfolds around you. The whole thing is inspired by her life—the first wife of Henry VIII, the woman whose marriage and subsequent annulment changed the course of English history. It's a chance to see the cathedral from a different angle, with the performance guiding you through the building rather than you just wandering on your own.
Once the tour is over, there's a Q&A session where you can ask questions about the performance or the history it draws on, followed by a drinks reception. It's a full evening rather than a quick walk-through, so you've got time to sit with the story and talk it over with other people there.
