Tudor fans might be interested to know that Hever Castle in Kent will be opening a new exhibition next month dedicated to the likenesses of Anne Boleyn.

According to their website:

Discover a world-first exhibition exploring one of history’s most debated faces. Capturing A Queen: The Image of Anne Boleyn brings together the largest ever gathering of portraits believed to depict Anne Boleyn, including a ground-breaking newly identified contemporary image unveiled for the first time.

Developed from new research by Hever Castle historian Dr Owen Emmerson, the exhibition traces how Anne’s image has changed over 500 years and reveals new scientific findings about Hever’s famous ‘Hever Rose’ portrait. You are invited to examine the evidence and vote for the likeness you believe best represents Henry VIII’s most enigmatic queen.

The display will run from 11th February 2026 until 1st January 2027.
