Event Description

On 9 June 1774 everybody who was anybody was at The Oaks at the Fete Champetre, a lavish and vastly expensive celebration for the marriage of Edward Stanley, the future 12th Earl of Derby to Betty Hamilton. John Phillips explores the event, its background and the aftermath in an illustrated talk in Honeywood’s billiard room.
