The Georgian period is filled with intriguing and larger-than-life characters from clever Queen Caroline to the talented William Kent and from the bohemian William Hogarth to “England’s first ballerina” Hester Santlow Booth. This fascinating evening will bring together the lead curators from recent Georgian exhibitions at the British Library, the V&A, The Royal Collection and Historic Royal Palaces, including Lucy Worsley, to debate who is most glorious Georgian of them all.
