THE KING’S HEAD is our hidden gem in the heart of the old market town of Aylesbury.
This ancient inn dating from 1455 is the perfect place to meet up with family and friends and to enjoy great beers, food, coffee and some shopping whilst savouring
this amazing historical building.

Medieval Night October.

Mediaeval Night

in The Great Hall.

Step into a night of flavour, history and convivial company at The King’s Head’s Medieval Night — an evening inspired by more than 500 years of gatherings in our magnificent Great Hall.

Built in the late 15th century, the Great Hall was originally designed for feasting and celebration. On 15 October 2026, we bring that heritage to life with a thoughtfully created banquet that evokes the spirit of celebratory dining and fine hospitality.

Join us for a multi-course banquet that celebrates medieval ingredients. Explore rich flavours, share good conversation and enjoy a unique evening in one of Aylesbury’s most atmospheric rooms.

We heartily recommend embracing the occasion — and really enhance the evening with period-inspired attire. If you’d like assistance with costume hire, we can suggest trusted local suppliers who offer a discount to our guests.
