An Audience with Mary Queen of Scots Burghley House

An Audience with Mary Queen of Scots

Friday 12th June

Join us for an audience with Mary Queen of Scots on Friday 12th June in the Great Hall. Following her popular appearance as Elizabeth I in 2014, Lesley Smith returns to Burghley as her alternative persona Mary Queen of Scots.

Lesley Smith (M. Univ, M. Phil, FSA (Scot), M.S.M.W) is an English scholar, historian, heritage publicist and actress. She is the curator of Tutbury Castle and is perhaps best known as the resident historian on the television show Most Haunted Live! (2006–10) and presenter of Most Haunted: Midsummer Murders. Smith is also well known for her dramatic interpretations of Queen Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots, for which she dons authentic replica costumes.

Admission tickets include arrival drink in the Orangery from 6.30pm. Lecture begins at 7pm.
