About This Event

Henry VIII is famous as the King who married six times, yet relatively little is known about his extra-marital adventures. He prided himself on being a virtuous prince, and when it came to sex, he was discreet, even prudish, so evidence for his affairs is sparse. Yet it is clear that he took a number of mistresses, enjoyed fleeting sexual adventures, and was as promiscuous as most renaissance rulers. Alison Weir has crafted a fascinating narrative from the fragmentary sources, which throws light on Henry VIII's private life, revealing striking insights into the man and his psyche.

Join us for an evening of Tudor history with noted historian Alison Weir, who we are very fortunate to welcome once again to our vineyard. Enjoy a sparkling reception and delicious canapes before sitting down for a fascinating insight into HARLOTS!
