Festivity through the Ages

19 December 2024
6-8pm
£9

Join Professor Greg Dart for an evening of drinks, riddles and readings on festivity through the ages.

The Romantics were worried that festivity - specifically Christmas festivity - might be dying and that there should be an active effort to revive it. But what did they mean by festivity? And were they right to worry about its decline? Come to Keats House to join Professor Greg Dart for an evening of drinks, riddles and readings meditating on the representation of festivity through the ages - from Shakespeare's time through that of Keats and the Romantics to Dickens.

Doors open at 6pm where you can pick up your riddle sheet, wander through Keats House to see it decorated for the festive season, and grab a drink.

The talk will last from approximately 6.45-8pm.

Recommended for over 16s.
