Terry's horrible day at York
YORK’S very own horrid history will take centre stage in the activities for children in this year’s Jorvik Medieval Festival, with Horrible Histories author, Terry Deary, bringing his diabolical descriptions of the Seven Ages of York to the Guildhall on August 29.
The presentation by possibly the most popular author of children’s non-fiction in history, will tell the stories of the Vicious Vikings, Measly Middle Ages and even the Terrible Tudors and Slimy Stewarts in a live presentation by Wearsider Deary, accompanied by music from across the centuries by Eboracum Baroque, in what promises to be one of the most hideously funny evenings of this year’s festival.
“We’re very excited to be welcoming Terry back to York for this event – he’s always present in our three medieval attractions, thanks to the child-friendly displays that he has written for us, but hearing the ghastly stories direct from the author’s mouth is one treat that no Horrible Histories fan should miss,” says Sarah Maltby, director of attractions for the Jorvik Group, which organises the annual celebrations.
