Join Dr. Leah Astbury from the Sleeping Well in the Early Modern World team and our project lead, Dr. Anna Fielding, to explore the problem of bedbugs for 16th and 17th century sleepers.
We will be looking at various solutions which were once popular – some we may want to try with the re-emergence of bedbugs recently and some we may want to remain firmly in the past!
The session will involve working with ingredients such as herbs, essential oils, fats, vinegar, wax, and heat sources. Please note this session is not suitable for small children.
This is a great chance to hear about the new research coming out of the Sleeping Well project and try your hand at remaking historical remedies. Find out more about the project →
