About this event
To the famous and fabulous Elizabethan explorer, sailor, dandy, and warrior, Sir Walter Raleigh, Elizabeth I’s favourite, and James I’s knave.
This is a journey through the astonishing highs and lows of one of Britain’s most famous historical figures. But there’s so much you don’t know...
Father, husband, writer, poet, adventurer, philosopher, soldier, tyrant, egotist, lover, traitor, alchemist, visionary, victim. See Sir Walter Raleigh's fall from grace, taken directly from historical record. Marvel at the magnetism of a man who seized every opportunity to create a legacy which spans the centuries.
