👑 Join us at Framlingham Library for an immersive experience that strips away the spectacle of the Tudor court to reveal the pulse of the woman beneath the crown.

More info: https://suffolkcommunitylibraries.co.uk/events/the-katharine-of-aragon-pop-up-experience.1798/

This event is a free, interactive pop-up. Participants will be invited to grab a pair of headphones and explore the library space while listening to the story of Katharine's love of books and her role in championing women's education, all recorded here in the heart of East Anglia.

Through a masterful blend of text and innovative binaural soundscapes, explore Katharine’s devotion, defiance, and resilience, and discover why her story resonates so powerfully today.

Drop in on Sunday 13 September from 11:30 to 3pm. No booking required!
