Henry VIII on Tour is a major three-year project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) which began in November 2022 and runs until October 2025. The project brings together a cross-disciplinary team to reconceptualise Henry VIII's progresses through studying archival sources, architecture, music, and material culture.

By mapping all known progress venues and identifying changes throughout Henry’s reign, the project will establish the first full itinerary for Henry VIII, significantly enhancing historians' understanding of royal progresses and their impact on 16th century political and religious culture.

Part of this project also involves reassessing the role and agency of Henry’s queens on royal journeys and recreating their own itineraries wherever possible. Overall, the project explores the hidden histories of understudied groups and communities and demonstrates how progresses themselves fostered the circulation of ideas, news, skills, architectural styles, and music across England.
