Talk: A Very Merry Interwar Christmas!

Take a light hearted look at Christmas in the 1920 and 1930s with Dr Emma Bastin. We'll explore Christmas decorations and gifts; parties and events; and of course, food and drink! We will immerse ourselves in the glitz and glamour of high society Christmases, but also see how ordinary people celebrated this most exciting time of year.

Tickets include a glass of mulled wine and mince pie.
