This glittering presentation held in the beautiful Grand Regency Ballroom, will transport the audience back to the time of Drake, Raleigh and Shakespeare on England’s voyage into the Renaissance.
There is no doubt that Gloriana had one of the most profound effects on English and European politics. The Protestant queen in the cold bed was given a matter of months on the throne by observers of the day believing she could not hope to survive. Queen Elizabeth, in fact, went on to rule England longer than any other monarch before her. Her passionate belief in the English people and her lack of martial ambition combined with a brilliant mind and outstanding political skills is why she was so hugely successful. Confounding all.
Here is a chance to meet Her Majesty at her political zenith and already an icon in the English psyche of the time.
The nearest car park to the venue is:
Parksafe Systems – Bold Lane
13 Bold Ln, Derby DE1 3NT
Tickets are £14.00pp (over 18’s only) and must be purchased in advance.
