'Seduction' Late - Emma Hamilton: Seduction & Celebrity - 14th February 2017

Emma Hamilton by Romney

​We are honoured and delighted to be invited by the National Maritime Museum to create a ‘pass port’ back in time to the Court of Naples in the Sammy Ofer Wing on Valentine's Eve. Everyone is invited, see below for booking link.

Naples, the place where Emma Hamilton became Lady Hamilton, met her lover to be, Lord Nelson and became a secret envoy at a time of great upheaval for Italy and the English. Emma emerged as an astute and valuable networker, leading where her husband feared to go. Not many people know that, yer know? Hence our focus on this all but brief time of happiness and great adventure for this extraordinary young woman.
 
As it is Valentine’s Eve we propose a night of love, romance and friendship, a time for everyone to share in  fun and laughter, and we at Georgian Dining Academy, will make it so!
 
Our usual reach is through the bellies of our guests with feasting, supping aplenty and much convivial conversation, but for this special evening we have united a group of artistes to entertain and beguile in a style Emma would certainly endorse!
 
Before, during or after our lavish menu of entertainments our visitors will find time to visit the exquisitely curated exhibition, Emma Hamilton: Seduction and Celebrity, to travel with Emma from poverty, to misplaced love, security, true love, to paradise and back and then sadly loss, and finally demise, a tale of Seduction and Celebrity on an unprecedented scale.  The programme can be viewed on the booking site, please see link below.
 
THE DATE
14th February 2017 at 18.30-22.00 / £15, £12 Members
