‘Back by popular demand! Our Mary Queen of Scots event was such a hit ‘the … atmosphere & setting were perfect. The knowledge & passion of the actor exceptional’ we’ve decided to put on another date! Book here for evening Fri 30 July.
We are also doing two day time events on the 31st at 11am & 2pm for children and families. At these times ‘Mary’ will talk about Mary and the Scrope family living at Bolton Castle whilst she was in residence.
The execution of Mary Queen of the Scots on the 8th February 1587 shocked Europe to the core and gave rise to an often maligned Queen but an instantly recognisable figure, adored by many to this day. Jane Collier of the Marie Stuart Society and reenactor with Discover Buxton, will give you an intimate view of this gifted, charming, fun loving and intensely loyal Queen, her stay at Bolton Castle still a time of hope for her, and her descent into despair during her 19 years of illegal imprisonment before the inevitable tragic end.
