About

Master Thomas Paycocke is entertaining friends for Christmas 1517, and part of the festivities is the gifting of small pies to guests and household alike. One of the pies contains an exciting secret which may be the cause of delight to some, but consternation to others.
Immerse yourself in the stories, sounds and scents of a Tudor Yuletide with Master Paycocke, hys goodwife, guests, Steward, Housekeeper, Spinster, Weaver, Cooks, Subtley Maker, Man-at Arms and maids. Watch the spectacle of Christmas feasting at High Board, join in with some dancing, and find out all about the Kynge or Quene Bean.
