London
Who? Where? What? We are engaging with audiences in schools, libraries, youth
groups, wellbeing organisations, archives and heritage centres, independent
museums and historic houses and places to immerse people in the key moments told
by real actors in authentic Elizabethan rooms. We meet our protagonists in their
Privy Council chambers, in the Queen’s bedchamber and as they walk through the
passageways of historic homes. We will be listening in on their conversations,
and arguments, and as they enjoy themselves during the entertainment put on
during their journey. We aim to enlighten, embolden and enhance the heritage of
this spectacular event in our region in 1578. However, you need to be prepared
to complete the tasks and earn yourself the status of one of Walsingham’s
Watcher! Putting on a Progress 1578: Pageantry, People and Places will transport
people back in time using 360° immersive films to discover how and why, in the
summer of 1578, Queen Elizabeth traveled from London through East Anglia to
Norwich.
