TudorFest

HistFest TudorFest

Journey into the alternative histories of the Tudor period.

The Tudor period was about so much more than kings, queens and royal scandal. In this day of talks and discussions, we delve into rich alternative histories of the Tudor period.

Explore England in a global context. Unravel the symbolism of jewels and restrictive sumptuary laws. Highlight the Black presence in England. Investigate often-obscured LGBT+ histories. Detail how mobility and movement across the known world shaped perceptions of humanity.

Join speakers Suzannah Lipscomb, Tracy Borman, Nathen Amin, Nandini Das and many more. You can buy a day pass, or take your pick of the events below.
