DISCOVERY DAYS: The Alleyn's Wedding Anniversary Celebration
Come and join us for a celebration of Edward and Joan Alleyn's Wedding Anniversary. They were married in 1592 and always celebrated their anniversary. Joan was the step-daughter of Philip Henslowe who built The Rose Playhouse. Edward Alleyn was the leading Elizabethan actor at the time and the favourite of Elizabeth I. He and Philip Henslowe had their fingers in many business deals, including brothels, tanneries and dye works. Edward became a member of the Court of the Middle Temple, mixing with lawyers and judges. He was also received and was even allowed to dance at the Royal Court. After he retired from acting, he went on to found Dulwich College.
Discover how a rich, aspiring middle class Tudor couple would have celebrated their wedding anniversary. What food would they have eaten? How would it have been presented? What entertainment would have been on offer? Partake of a few Tudor sweetmeats and have an opportunity to join in with the dancing.
