Sex and the Tudors at Southside tomorrow

IF you’re a history buff you’ll love Lesley Smith.

If learning about the past isn’t your thing there’s a good chance you’ll still love Lesley Smith.

The former curator of Tutbury Castle is returning to Lincoln tomorrow bringing history to life in the conducive surroundings of Southside with the saucy Sex and The Tudors.

Lesley will regale us of her findings on the subject authentically dressed as Mary Queen of Scots - who else but a Stuart should take a swipe at the Tudors?

The attention to detail from the scholar, historian, heritage publicist and actress is one of the reasons Lesley is so popular in the city - her costumes are hand-made replicas and her knowledge encyclopaedic. 

Lesley has appeared in more than 120 TV programmes, has 38 academic publications to her name, so, yes, she knows her stuff, but her talks are also delivered with humour and a lot of affection for her characters.

She is a medical historian holding a Masters in Tudor medicine and her research informs the Southside talk. Some of that research is literally painstaking in more ways than one, but we won’t give any other spoilers here.

Lesley will lead the audience 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 the details are Sex and the Tudors, Friday, November 28, 7pm, Southside, Colegrave Street, Lincoln, tickets £10. 18+ only.
