Your ticket includes coffee and tea on arrival, but bring your own lunch!  

From Sir Richard Grenville’s ill-fated attempts to set up a colony in the New World to the participation of North Devon ships in defending England against the Spanish Armada, Bideford’s role in key historical events of the sixteenth century is well recognised. But how much do we really know about what it was like to live in Bideford during Tudor times, how its maritime prominence developed, and how people were affected by the changes brought about by international events?

This event is a chance to learn more about the world sixteenth century Bidefordians inhabited and reflect on the importance of northern Devon at a crucial stage in England’s history. 

Join us for a stimulating programme of talks, plus opportunities take part in a guided walk around the town and to visit Bideford Quay and the museum ship the SS Freshspring. The Burton at Bideford will be welcoming visitors during the lunch break.
