The Arts Society, Havering will be holding their next talk on Tuesday 12 December 2023 at the New Windmill Hall, Upminster RM14 2QH. The talk is by Siobham Clarke and titled A Tudor Christmas.

We might assume that our modern Christmas owes much to the Victorians. In fact, many of our favourite Christmas traditions date back much further. Carol-singing, present-giving, mulled wine and mince pies were all just as popular in Tudor times, and even Father Christmas and roast turkey dinners have their origins in this period.

Siobhan Clarke BA has worked for Historic Royal Palaces for 20 years delivering tours and lectures on Hampton Court, Kensington, the Tower of London and the Banqueting House, Whitehall Palace. Her experience includes education sessions and tours for schools, universities, corporate and private clients.

This event is open to visitors for a fee of £8:00.
