Celebrate the Halloween season at the Mary Rose Museum with this unique talk and tour experience, delving into the world of Tudor superstition.
Join curator and historian Hannah Matthews for a riveting talk that will take you on a journey through the shadowy and dark history of witches and wise women, healing and superstition in the 16th century.
Uncover the fine line between medicine and witchcraft and explore what life would have been like for Tudor healers, apothecaries and wise women who were often a step away from deadly accusations of witchcraft.
How did the Tudors protect themselves from dark magic and witches, how could healing with herbs be misconstrued as witchcraft and what were the punishments? And is there any evidence of superstition aboard the Mary Rose?
After your talk, explore the museum with a fascinating behind the scenes tour led by one of our expert guides. Enjoy access into our Reserve Collection not accessible to the public enjoy refreshments in our wardroom and use of our exterior viewing balcony with views of the Solent and HMS Victory.
This experience costs £40 per person, and is suitable for adults and children aged 13+
Please note: Your experience price covers entry to the Mary Rose Museum for the date and time of the talk and tour only. A valid Mary Rose ticket will be required for entry on all other dates.
