Dartford Talk: The 1951 Festival of Britain and its Legacy with speaker Alan Williams

Dartford Branch

Doors open 9.45am.  Meeting and Talk start 10.30am.  The meeting will end by 12.30pm

Alan Williams is a member of the Otford 1940s Society.

The Festival of Britain was a national exhibition and fair that reached millions of visitors throughout the United Kingdom in the summer of 1951. The Festival was a triumphant success during which people flocked to the South Bank site, to wander around the Dome of Discovery, gaze at the Skylon, and generally enjoy a festival of national celebration. 

The British public showed that it had not lost the capacity for enjoying itself....Above all, the Festival made a spectacular setting as a showpiece for the inventiveness and genius of British scientists and technologists.

(Regrettably our original speaker (Nicola White on Mudlarking) is unable to come.  She has been rebooked for 1 October.)

There is a large, free car park but it is shared with other users and can be busy at times.

No booking, just turn up.

The Society is a registered charity and membership fees and donations are an important part of our income. The Talk is free to members but guests and visitors are asked to make a donation towards hall hire and speaker's fee. There will be a donations box at the venue.
