- **Event Name**: Uncovering Hidden Histories: LGBT+ History Month Talk & Tour 2026
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 13 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Fri, 13 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for a very special journey through the Charterhouse by candlelight, created and led by a group of residents. For centuries, the Charterhouse was a
predominantly male community. From the creation of the charity in 1611, it served as a unique sanctuary for men in their later years, many of whom were gay men seeking a haven when they had no family to care for them. This special LGBT+ History Month programme aims to shine a light on these hidden stories. You will hear about the historic figures who shaped this institution, from the flamboyant George Villiers, 2nd Duke of Buckingham, to the post-war architects Seely &amp; Paget, and the distinguished artist Robert Medley. Discover how the Charterhouse provided a vital community, and often a place of safety, for gay men throughout history.

We have several tours daily, either with one of our professional guides, or a tour with more of an insider perspective led by one of the residents of the almshouse. Please see our Tours page for booking information.\r\nWe are open from 11.00am to 5.20pm Tuesday to Saturday."
