Delve into the underbelly of Georgian society and be amazed, entertained or repulsed! This informative and enjoyable tour will focus on the not so fragrant, not so sober and not so hygienic Georgians!  Learn more about some of the unsavoury pastimes of the era along with the range of crimes and subsequent punishments.  Be regaled with stories of how ladies shaved off their eyebrows and replaced them with mouse skin. Be horrified listening about rodents making their nests in the fashionable tall & powdered wigs! Missing teeth were often replaced by false teeth made of clay, walrus tusk or even dead people’s teeth! 

The tour will last 75 minutes approx. suitable for ages 12+.
