Visitors will have the opportunity to talk with the characters and participate in a variety of activities. Hungerford Household is a re-enactment group with over fifteen years experience of bringing the Tudor period to life at historic houses and museums throughout the UK. Acton Court provides a perfect setting for this exciting event. An entertainment for all the family.
