Professor Turi King

This event has passed.

Geneticist Professor Turi King – co-presenter of the BBC Two series DNA Family Secrets – is famous for cracking one of the biggest forensic DNA cases in history: the identification of King Richard III.

Join her tonight as she discusses the case and uncovers how DNA has revolutionised genealogy and forensics, helping us trace long lost family members, catch criminals and make remarkable historical discoveries. She will reveal how your unique DNA identifies you and your family, how your surname can give you a glimpse into the lives of your ancestors and whether you really are who you think you are. With the huge rise in DNA testing, we are now able to ask questions previously impossible to answer about our families, ancestry and health.

Enjoy delicious drinks and light bites from our Café Bar ahead of the event.

Available to pre-order when booking your tickets, you can choose from a selection of house drinks on arrival, accompanied by a board of bread, olives and dips (all Vegetarian). Just select which option – for one or two people – you would like, before checkout.

Your pre-ordered food and drink will be available to collect from the Café Bar from 60 minutes before the event. It’s the perfect way to begin your event experience at St George’s!
