Exhibition based on childhood recollections of this post-war festival in London in 1951.
In 1825 Samuel Wilderspin undertook his first road-trip promoting infant schools in villages, towns and cities across the nation. The 800 mile roundtrip set the pattern of things to come over the next 20 years. Based on his own accounts, this exhibition highlights the challenges of lone travel across the British Isles just as the railway age was dawning. It’s a unique story of ambition and endurance.
Crafts and gift stalls in our indoor Christmas market and Father Christmas in his Victorian grotto.
