On Tuesday 29th September 2020 we welcomed Susan Slater. Affiliate of the Institute of Tourist Guiding, qualified White Badge for Hampton Court Palace. Leading guided tours of Hampton Court Palace, Guide Lecturer, Hampton Court Palace. Amazing 300 members attended the meeting! Full of historical information it was a quick walz through two hundred years.
Sarah was a Textiles and Art Technician at Guildford Education Partnership for five years before moving to Hampton Court Palace in 2008 as a State Apartment Warder. A little-known fact about Sarah is that she worked for Disney and appeared in Return to Oz as a stunt double for Dorothy!
For her talk ‘Sex, Secrets, Scandal and Salacious Gossip of the Royal Court, 1660 to 1830’ Sarah will wear one of her beautiful costumes and talk about all the naughty bits of history you would probably not have learnt about at school! She will discuss royal mistresses, prostitution, sexual diseases of the time and the methods used to prevent SDTs and unwanted pregnancies.
A well recommended talk.
