106. A History of Georgian Feasting
Henge

Step into the dazzling and delicious world of Georgian Britain with historians Amy Boyington and Peter Ross. This lively event brings Georgian dining to life, from glittering aristocratic feasts—where silver, porcelain, and candlelight staged a theatre of power—to the bustling streets of eighteenth-century London. Discover a city that ate from dawn to midnight: oyster rooms, coffee houses, and early street food, shaped by global influences and empire. Blending sensory storytelling with vivid history, Boyington and Ross reveal how food connected spectacle and survival, offering a rich, immersive taste of Georgian life across every social class.
