Tim Knox, Director of the Royal Collection, explores the taste and patronage of successive British monarchs over the last century, from King Edward VII to Queen Elizabeth II.

With its political, social and economic turbulence, two World Wars and the loss of an Empire, the twentieth century has not provided ideal conditions for the growth and development of the British Royal Collection. Indeed, it is something of a miracle that it has survived intact at all!

Tickets £20

Tickets will go on sale to the general public on 15th March and 1 week earlier to benefactors of the festival who qualify for priority booking.
