Horrible Histories: Terrible Tudors at Lighthouse, Poole's Centre for the Arts logo

We all want to meet people from history. The trouble is everyone is dead!

So it’s time to prepare yourselves for two amazing shows with Horrible Histories live on stage! Using actors and eye-popping 3D special effects, these astounding shows are guaranteed to thrill you and your children. Historical figures and events will come alive on stage and hover at your fingertips!

Terrible Tudors: From the horrible Henries to the end of evil Elizabeth, hear the legends (and the lies!) about the torturing Tudors. Find out the fate of Henry’s headless wives and his punch up with the Pope. Meet Bloody Mary and see Ed fall dead in his bed. Survive the Spanish Armada as it sails into the audience!

It’s Tudor history with the nasty bits left in!

Also showing: Awful Egyptians

Show contains loud noises, 3D special effects (glasses are provided), and content designed to elicit a noisy audience reaction, which may not be suitable for under 5’s.
