The Katherine of Aragon Festival

The Katharine of Aragon Festival returns to Peterborough Cathedral from 24th January to 1st February 2026, inviting visitors to step into the rich tapestry of Tudor history. This year, we are honoured to host some of the foremost historians and celebrated authors of the era within the Cathedral’s majestic walls. Alongside these enlightening talks, the festival will offer a captivating programme of family activities, immersive tours, hands-on workshops, and countless other experiences that bring history vividly to life.

Set within the historic surroundings of Peterborough Cathedral, where she is laid to rest, the Katherine of Aragon festival features a programme of heritage lectures, costumed interpretation, choral services, and family activities. Peterborough Cathedral events can be found here.

You are invited to honour Katharine's enduring legacy.
