Celebrate Valentine’s Weekend at Florattica with sky-high dining, live music, and panoramic city views on the 11th floor.
Hear the hidden histories of the real people that inspired Gentleman Jack and the gay romances in Bridgerton.
In Georgian England...
...Mother Clap's Holborn coffee house is open to all comers, a place of companionship and community, until a tip-off leads to a midnight raid.
...Two women, exiled from their families, set up a utopian homestead in a remote Welsh cottage, inspiring a generation of Romantic poets.
...The celebrated Chevalier d'Éon, soldier, diplomat and spy, challenges a rival to a fencing match. The sweepstake is not over who will win, but whether the Chevalier is a man or a woman.
Based on original archival research by History Hit podcast presenter Anthony Delaney, Queer Georgians reveals the real people that inspired Gentleman Jack and the gay romances in Bridgerton, long written out of the nation's story and now lovingly restored.
In his dazzling work of restorative history, Anthony Delaney traces the stories of people daring to challenge society's expectations, unearthing archives and court records to reveal the tragedies and the joys of queer life three centuries ago.
Join for an unmissable evening with Anthony Delaney as he invites you to view shared history in a whole new light.
Time: Wednesday 25 February, 6.30 to 8pm
