This talk by Lesley Smith is a rip-roaring journey through the sexual exploits of the Tudors.

Contraception, prostitution and much more feature in this lively and entertaining lecture.
Not suitable for those who shock easily or have a nervous disposition, or for anyone under the age of 18.
Tickets are £14 per person and may be purchased in advance to avoid disappointment (see below).
