Lucy wants to take you behind the scenes and into the history of the royal residences she came to know so well, from Hampton Court’s Haunted Gallery, to the gilded apartments of Kensington Palace. Along the way, we’ll meet some of Britain’s best-known queens and kings, and find out what Lucy really thinks of them.

With her trademark warmth and scholarly sparkle, this evening will lift the lid on royal life over the centuries, introducing you to its pageantry and – sometimes – its pain. Prepare to be entertained, enlightened, and thoroughly charmed as Lucy reveals the secrets, stories, and splendours of Britain’s royal past.

Seats in higher levels or with restricted views may not have full visibility of the on-stage screen.

Not originally intended to be a theatre, the buildings that comprise the Grand Opera House York officially opened in 1902 with Little Red Riding Hood starring Florrie Ford. Since then it has been owned by FJ Butterworth, the Shepherd of Shambles and the India Pru Co. Ltd who spent £4,000,000 restoring the theatre to its former glory in 1987.
