| The Women's Section is hosting a 1944-era ‘afternoon tea’ from 1.30 until 5pm. As well as more traditional afternoon tea fare, there will be some 1944 stalwarts to try, such as spam sandwiches and eggless sponge. There will be a display of World War 2 women’s uniforms, civilian dresses, children’s toys & clothes, domestic artefacts etc. You can see what food rationing looked like and we will be showing the film 'The Longest Day’ in the background. All are welcome and this is open to members and non-members. Tickets are only £10 and are available via Eventbrite (link below). |
