Thursday 8 June: Anne Boleyn & Elizabeth I: The Mother and Daughter Who Changed History by Tracy Borman

7:30pm -8:30pm. Anne Boleyn is a subject of enduring fascination. By far the most famous of Henry VIII's six wives, she has inspired books, documentaries and films, and is the subject of intense debate even today, almost 500 years after her violent death. Dramatic though this story is, of even greater interest - and significance - is the relationship between Anne and her daughter, the future Elizabeth I. A Village Books and Alleyn's Schools Enterprises event. The MCT at Alleyn's, Alleyn's School, Townley Road SE22 8SU. Tickets: www.alleyns.org.uk/live/live-events/

8pm -9pm. The career of Antony Gormley spans nearly 40 years, during which time he has made sculpture that explores the relationship of the human body to space, often using his own body as his starting point. His work has been shown in galleries throughout the world including Tate London and the Hermitage in St Petersburg, but it is also often on display as public art such as Another Place at Crosby Beach near Liverpool. Lecturer: Rosalind Whyte Also available to members and non-members live on Zoom. www.theartssocietydulwich.org.uk. James Allen's Girls' School Sixth Form Centre, Green Dale SE22.
