Award-winning writer and broadcaster Alice Loxton delves into Britain’s past, exploring the country through eighteen notable figures at that most formative age – eighteen.  From a young Elizabeth Tudor facing deadly intrigue at court, to Empress Matilda, already changing the fate of nations, this event based on her book, Eighteen, invites you to join an eclectic cast of young Britons across the nation and throughout its history.  Filled with fascinating stories of royalty, explorers, writers and entertainers, Eighteen asks what lessons we can learn for modern Britain. Alice Loxton’s latest publication, Eleanor, takes readers on a 200-mile walk retracing the medieval funeral cortege of a forgotten English queen, offering a moving portrait of loss, memory and Britain’s layered past.
