# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Richard III: The Night Before Battle
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 25 Aug, 2026 at 07:30 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Richard III is one of the most controversial figures in British history, seen by some as a ruthless murderer and by others as the innocent victim of Tudor propaganda. The last English king to be killed in battle, his death at the battle of Bosworth in 1485 has often been viewed as the end of the Middle Ages, and the beginning of the Modern period.

This costumed portrayal by historian Dr Gareth Williams shows Richard the night before Bosworth, looking back on his life and considering whether or not he has done enough to earn God’s support in battle against his rival Henry Tudor the following morning.

The costumed performance is followed by a discussion of the historical evidence on which it is based, and why the surviving evidence has led to such divergent interpretations of this important historical figure.

Tickets are £14 and should be purchased in advance.
