Let's hear: Jean's Plotters & Witches Talk @ NPG + Lunch Social!!!

Details

Many of you came to know my friend Jean when we did online talks during Lockdown - well now everything is nearly normal, we can hear her latest talk for real at The National Portrait Gallery!

Synopsis:
The talk centres around King James who was a troubled man and he had good cause to be so... His father found dead in his own garden, his mother beheaded by her own cousin! James held captive for a year and not to forget attempts to blow him up - think Guy Fawkes... On top of all that witches out to drown him and his new bride - no wonder he was troubled!
This talk charts James' experiences with Plotters & Witches and what made the man that he became...

All very atmospheric for Halloweeeeeeen!

After Jean's talk we'll wander round the galleries - I will point some portraits of interest (I used to work at the NPG and did talks and tours there myself).
We'll then visit our old haunt ;) St. Marten's in the Fields Crypt Café for Lunch & Social

I will meet you by the exit of Charing Cross Train Station under the canopy which faces the Eleanor Cross Monument. Please keep an eye out for the Meetup sign.

The Meetup fee for this event is £3.00 – which is payable on the day.
If you do not see us please call/text me on: 0739 623 3874 – text is best! - psssst! Don't forget to say your name in the message.
However, before sending any message please check the site in case I have added an update. We will only wait for 10 minutes and I cannot take calls thereafter.

Hope to see lots of you there :)

NB. As usual there will be others coming along from my other Meetup family ;)
