Tomorrow, Saturday 15th December, is time for the party of all parties, the Tudor Society Christmas party! Yay! I can't promise you bad Christmas music, or lots of food and drink, but I can promise you an hour of lovely socialising with some very friendly like-minded people.
How does our Christmas party work?
Well, we all pile into the Tudor Society chatroom and chat. You can dress up for it if you like (I might wear my Christmas jumper!) and why don't you bring along your favourite Christmas tipple and snack? It's always fun to share what we're eating and drinking. Then we just chat. You can talk Tudor if you like, ask other members how they celebrate Christmas, anything really! They're always good fun. The party is open to all Tudor Society full access members plus our magazine subscribers.

As you know, our expert speaker for December is historian Kate Cole. Her talk is about witches in Elizabethan and Stuart Essex, a fascinating topic. Kate will be joining us in the chatroom to answer your questions in a live chat session on 4th January 2019. That gives you plenty of time to view her video - https://www.tudorsociety.com/expert-talk-the-witches-of-elizabethan-and-stuart-essex-kate-cole/ - if you haven't had chance yet.
