The musicians of Ensemble Augelletti invite the young people of Beverley and their families to Pick a Card.

A pack of playing cards is a well-loved source of entertainment for families and friends. Playing cards together became particularly popular during the 18th century, and just like today, people designed packs with fun and topical designs.

In this family concert, we invite you to design your own playing cards, and explore Georgian history together through music and cards.

Come to see some amazing 18th-century card designs showing ships, animals, toys, princes and princesses and listen to music by composers including Telemann, Handel, Bach, Vivaldi and Ucellini.
