The story will be illustrated using portraits from the collection at the National Portrait Gallery, accessed earlier this year, before it shut for 3 years.

Part 1 starts with the Tudors and takes us to Georgian times

Part 2 takes us from Revolution through the Victorian era till the beginning of the 20th century

You can attend each part but ideally both parts.There are a choice of two dates for each part

Part 1 Tuesday 25th August or Wednesday 2nd September

Part 2 Thursday 27th August or Thursday 3rd September

Please buy a separate ticket for each

There is no charge for the event but it would be great if you could make a donation to Shelter's Campaign for the Homeless at :
