Sex and the Tudors

WE know that Henry VIII had his share of fun back in the 16th C, but he wasn’t the only one according to the records of this famous period of English history.

This lecture is given by Tutbury Castle Curator Lesley Smith making another welcome visit to Lincoln to entertain and educate - this time in the atmospheric surroundings of Southside.

Organised in conjunction with the Lincoln Independent Lesley will lead us on a rip-roaring tumble through the sexual exploits of the Tudors.

Contraception, conception, prostitution and gay sex feature in this engaging and highly entertaining lecture. Not suitable for those who shock easily or have a nervous disposition! For the rest of you...we recommend you book early.

Sex and the Tudors, Thursday, October 19, doors open 6.30pm for 7pm start.

Southside, Colegrave Street, Lincoln.

Tickets £12. Free parking opposite at South Common. Book online www.southsidelincs.com T 01522 437942.
