About the event

The holiday season is rich with cherished traditions. We owe things like a decorated tree, big meal, and gifts to the Victorians. Specifically the namesake of the era, Queen Victoria.

In this second English Heritage lecture, we will learn how Victoria and Albert and their growing family celebrated Christmas at Windsor Castle and later at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. The lecture will discuss the royal family and the court who visited during the holidays, as well as placing these holiday celebrations in a contemporary global context.

This lecture is brought to you through the English Heritage & University of Oxford Alumni Society of Washington, DC partnership. Registrants for this event can watch the event live and at their leisure for up to two weeks afterward. The Zoom details will be sent to registrants separately closer to the event.
