Special: Tea Time with the Tudors

This richly illustrated talk in easy English will introduce you to the royal family that shaped England like no other and brought forth Kings and Queens whose names are legend – sometimes for their greatness, sometimes for their scandals!

Come and hear about King Henry VII and the ‘Tudor Myth’, one of the greatest scandals in English history, accompanied by a cup of tea and scones (included in the fee). Discover why his second son, King Henry VIII had six wives – and why he is still one of the greatest English rulers! Meet Edward VI - who became king when he was only nine years old – and Lady Jane Grey – who was queen for only nine days!

Find out about Queen Mary I and why she became known as “Bloody Mary” and hear about her half-sister, the great Queen Elizabeth I, and how she became the most powerful ruler of the known world – as an unmarried woman!
