Illusionist Jay Gatling will roam the venue in character as the Tudor Lord of Misrule to offer tricks and jests to visitors. This walkabout performance takes place in the Rotunda and invites guests to engage with the character directly. The event aims to celebrate the disorderly traditions of the Tudors.
On December 10th, illusionist Jay Gatling transforms into The Harris’ Tudor Lord of Mischief, bringing back the playful, topsy turvy spirit of Christmas past. The Feast of Fools is upon us and our Lord of Mischeif has been chosen. Roaming our halls will be Jay Gatling, magician, wizard and newly appointed Lord of Misrule. If you see this colourful character mingling about then pop over, say hello and ask for a trick or two. We’re sure he will be glad to oblige and share with you some joyful jests. Prepare for plenty of clever tricks and roaming revels in this delightful walk about performance from this wizard turned temporary Lord. Celebrate the delightful disorder the Tudors adored and indulge in a night of merry misrule. History with a wink. Location in the building: The Rotunda.
