Join the multimillion-copy bestselling author of the Horrible Histories, Terry Deary, for a hilarious whistlestop tour through the history of Britain (strictly for grown-ups!).

Defeating a weak opponent gets a nation no kudos…

For over 30 years children have been reading Terry Deary’s beloved Horrible Histories and now their children (and even grandchildren) are fans.

Now he joins us for an adults-only romp through the greatest hits in British History. Terry will teach you the history you didn’t learn in school, exploring the story of the British though the lens of the enemies that made us – from the Romans and Vikings to Napoleon and the Nazis.

Did you know that Boudicca – far from deserving her reputation as a feminist icon – had Roman women’s breasts cut off and sewed to their mouths? Or that the most sexually deviant pope ever held parties with fifty sex workers and played suggestive games involving chestnuts? Or that Nelson’s corpse was kept fresh in a cask of brandy and the news was sent home aboard the HMS Pickle?

Don’t miss this guide to the British as you’ve never heard it before.

Tickets to this event are at a £15 discount for members to How To +, and members can also watch the livestream for free.
