Time: 18:00 - 20:30

Think scandal is all fantasy? Think again! At Delapré Abbey, the drama of Georgian high society wasn’t scripted—it was lived. Behind the elegant façades and glittering soirées lay a world of ambition, romance, and intrigue that shocked polite society.

Join us for an evening that peels back the curtain on the real lives of the aristocracy. Follow the true story of Harriet Bouverie, a woman whose beauty and wit placed her at the heart of the Ton—and whose scandalous love affair with Lord Robert Spencer made headlines long before Whistledown ever put quill to parchment.

An AGMP Concerts presentation.
