Event Information

We might assume that our modern Christmas owes much to the Victorians. In fact, carol-singing, present-giving, mulled wine and mince pies were all just as popular in Tudor times. This lecture is based on my book with Alison Weir ‘A Tudor Christmas’.

It was a twelve-day-long festival, over which the Lord of Misrule held sway; so beloved by English people that its traditions survived remarkably unchanged in an age of tumultuous religious upheaval.

Mulled wine and mince pies will be served after the lecture and please remember to bring CASH to purchase tickets for the Christmas raffle.
