Historalia, founded a decade ago by Eliane Astor-de Merode (soon to be Lady Astor of Hever) and Simon de Merode, is the mastermind behind this spectacular production which brings history to life through original musical theatre. Performed in a specially built open-air auditorium within the castle grounds, the show traces Anne Boleyn’s dramatic journey: from her poignant farewell to her family, through the courts of Flanders and France, to her tumultuous role as Henry VIII’s second wife, and ultimately, to her tragic end.

Cassandra is delighted to be involved in this historic production. When Eliane Astor-de Merode, a long-time client of Cassandra’s, asked if she would recreate Anne Boleyn’s iconic ‘B’ necklace, Cassandra was thrilled to be involved. Those attending the musical, will be in for a chance to win the necklace in a charitable tombola with proceeds going to IMAGO. IMAGO is a Kent-based charity which helps empower, support and enable children, young people, adults and communities to improve their health and wellbeing, particularly young and adult carers.
