Rugeley & District Lions Club welcomed renowned historian Lesley Smith to the Rugeley Rose Theatre on Tuesday 3rd November for an entertaining and fascinating evening exploring the scandalous world of the Tudors.

Her presentation, Sex and the Tudors, took the audience behind the closed doors of Henry VIII’s court, revealing the secrets, scandals, marriages, mistresses and intrigues that shaped one of Britain’s most colourful periods in history.

With her wonderful storytelling, infectious enthusiasm and unmistakable sense of humour, Lesley brought the Tudor era vividly to life. The audience was captivated throughout, with plenty of laughter, surprising revelations and moments of disbelief along the way!

It was history with a difference, delivered with warmth, wit and a generous helping of Tudor scandal.

Rugeley & District Lions Club would like to extend its sincere thanks to Lesley for such a memorable presentation, to the team at the Rugeley Rose Theatre for their hospitality, and to everyone who attended and supported the event.

Events like these are an important part of our fundraising programme, allowing us to continue supporting local charities, community groups and individuals in need.

We are extremely grateful to everyone who supports our events and helps us make a positive difference within our community.
