THE REMARKABLE women of the Regency era are being celebrated in Warwick.
Heritage and Culture Warwickshire are marking the opening of their new exhibition Warwick Castle Unboxed with a range of talks and workshops this May and June. The first talk celebrates remarkable Regency women and the culinary delights that defined the period.
Learning and community engagement officer Rebecca Coles said “We are so excited to have historian Dr Annie Gray talk. Annie is one of Britain’s leading food historians, you may have heard her on BBC Radio 4’s The Kitchen Cabinet, or seen her on the telly. The late eighteenth century had the best food in history, eaten in a style which has never been bettered so it will be interesting to hear all the details.”
Author Rebecca Wilson will be talking on the remarkable women, of the Georgian era, Mary Anning, Anne Lister, Mary Wollstonecraft, and Lady Sarah Pennington, who with their strength, tenacity, and sheer determination, carved out their lives against the typical expectations of the day and archivist Laura Orriss will be giving an account of Sarah, Countess of Warwick whose story is featured in the exhibition.
The event is on Saturday May 9 from 1pm until 4pm at The Court House in Warwick.
