Share your wartime memories at our free sessions.
Once a month we'll provide photos, films and television to inspire your recollections of a particular aspect of life during the war years.

Come alone or bring your family to share the memories and enjoy a cup of tea/coffee and a chat.

The next session is 23 February from 10.30am. The theme is KEEPING THE HOME FIRES BURNING - the war effort at home.

We'll be looking at the many different ways people supported the war effort. Were you involved in providing food and fuel as a Bevan boy or as a female member of the Land Army? We will of course be remembering the Home Guard, with TV clips from Dads Army and the local Thornton Home Guard.

The photographic exhibition in the Insight Gallery will open at 10am with a presentation in TV Heaven from 11am followed by a lunch break before the film is shown at 1pm at a reduced Senior Citizen rate of 拢2.
