SUMMARY:Blenheim Palace – Christmas Past and Present
DESCRIPTION:Christmas at Blenheim Palace has always been a time of celebration. The 7th Duke and Duchess followed the lead of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in making Christmas a family time and a time to give gifts to those who were in their employ. Those traditions are in many ways still continued to this day. This talk looks at how Christmas has been celebrated over the years and how each November\, the Palace and its grounds are transformed into a Christmas feast for the eyes. \nLecturer Antonia Keaney \nAntonia Keaney\, theartssociety.org \nAntonia joined Blenheim Palace in 2008 as a member of the Education Team\, later becoming the Palace’s Social Historian and Digital Content Creator. Both roles have involved her curating or co-curating a number of Palace exhibitions including A Passion for Fashion – 300 Years of Blenheim Style upon which her recent book is based.\nAn experienced public speaker\, both virtually and in person\, Antonia has delivered a ‘Conversation’ at Cumberland Lodge\, Windsor\, been ‘In Conversation’ with fashion editor Caroline Issa\, designers Stephen Jones and Zandra Rhodes and TV and radio presenter\, Sue Perkins.\nAntonia has participated in both the Oxford Literary Festival where she presented her children’s book and more recently at Cheltenham where she chaired a discussion between authors Emma Soames and Rachel Trethewey on their respective Churchill related books. Antonia has been a guest on Radio 4’s Saturday Live with the Reverend Richard Coles and has made various TV appearances including Channel 5’s The Cotswolds with Pam Ayres and Blenheim Palace – Behind the Grandeur.
