The Real Boleyns with Tracy Borman

Uncover the secrets of the Boleyn family with Tracy Borman, Chief Historian at the Historic Royal Palaces. In her new novel The House of Boleyn, best-selling author, historian and broadcaster Tracy Borman immerses us in the world of the Boleyn’s beautiful Kent home, Hever Castle. It was here that they plotted and schemed, grieved and rejoiced – and where Henry VIII relentlessly pursued Anne Boleyn. In this richly illustrated talk, Tracy uncovers the real history that inspired her novel and takes the audience behind closed doors to explore the Boleyn’s as they’ve never been seen before. BIOGRAPHY TRACY BORMAN OBE is Chief Historian at the Historic Royal Palaces. A regular broadcaster and public speaker, Tracy regularly appears on the Channel 5 Inside the Tower of London series and stars in several Channel 5 documentaries including Princes in the Tower, and Elizabeth I and Anne Boleyn: The Prisoner Queens. Her 2025 non-fiction book, The Stolen Crown, was an instant Sunday Times bestseller and saw her undertake a national tour across the country, appearing at bookshops, historic venues and literary festivals. As a historian and novelist, Tracy writes fiction and non-fiction.

‘Inspirations ’

Francine Brown We are delighted to welcome Francine as a guest exhibitor to the gallery. Francine works primarily with watercolours against a clay and mineral background. The soft veils of colour against a naturally illuminating ground provided an ethereal calmness to her work, inviting contemplation and a moment of respite from the noise of everyday life.She utilises a warm, muted palette to gain greater control over the visual effect and employs negative space to create a sense of calm and breathing room with the composition. A subtle narrative is always incorporated to encourage the viewer to make their own connections with the painting. Subscribe

Turner & Constable: Exhibition on Screen

Celebrating the 250th anniversary of their births, this unmissable new documentary explores Turner and Constable’s intertwined lives and legacies alongside the groundbreaking Tate exhibition.Two of Britain’s greatest painters, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them. Tate Britain is bringing these two greats together for a groundbreaking exhibition, in London from November 2025 to April 2026, and Exhibition on Screen once again has exclusive and privileged access to bring their extraordinary art and remarkable stories to the big screen in February so that you can enjoy both film and exhibition together. Discover unexpected sides to both artists with intimate views of sketchbooks and personal items and insights from leading experts.Turner’s blazing sunsets and sublime scenes from his travels and Constable’s idealised depictions of beloved places from home whipped the public of the time into a frenzy of enthusiasm. Constable represents the very best of the old school of realism and pastoral nostalgia; Turner, an exciting new way of depicting emotion and dreamlike impressions. Critics compared their starkly different styles to a clash of ‘fire and water’. Don’t miss this opportunity to see these greats side-by-side, as they so often were in life, on the big screen for the first time.
