Battle of the Countesses
Join local historians Aaron Manning and Dr Adam Busiakiewicz for a moderated and adversarial debate on who was the most consequential Countess of Warwick in Warwick Castle's history.
The legacies of the artistically minded Anne, 4th Countess of Warwick (1829-1903) will be set against those of the socialite and socialist Daisy, 5th Countess of Warwick (1861-1938) to bring to life the contrasting characters of these two Victorian aristocrats. Audience members will be able to put their own questions to the two opposing sides culminating in a vote to decide who should be crowned winner. Participants will also be able to view a selection of archival documents relating to the Countesses from the Warwick Castle Archive as part of the event.
Wheelchair accessible.
