About this Event
History is about to get a lot more intriguing…
Join us for the next History on Tap, where the past isn’t just told — it’s questioned, debated, and brought thrillingly to life. This time, we’re diving headfirst into the shadowy world of one of England’s most controversial figures: Richard III — hero, villain… or something in between?
We’re thrilled to welcome Matt Lewis — chair of the Richard III Society and host of Gone Medieval — alongside Thomas Dennis, star of the West End’s The Mousetrap. Together, they’ll lift the curtain on their brand-new short film A Taste of Loyalty, fresh from its premiere at Warwick Castle.
But this isn’t just a film chat…
Expect secrets, surprises, and plenty of debate as we explore the murky politics of the medieval court. Was Richard III truly the ruthless usurper history paints him to be? What really happened to the Princes in the Tower? And how far would you go to prove your loyalty in a world where trust could cost you your head?
Blending storytelling, history, and behind-the-scenes insights from the film, this is your chance to step into a world of shifting allegiances, whispered plots, and unanswered questions that still haunt historians today.
All of this, of course, with a drink in hand in a relaxed, buzzing setting — because history is always better with a pint.
Come curious. Leave questioning everything.
