The Evacuees Christmas workshop in action

What was it like for children in the Second World War?

You and your children will be asked to take on the role of a school being evacuated from London. A Christmas party has been arranged by local people to cheer up the evacuees and make them feel less homesick.

Your day may include

  • Making decorations
  • Preparing food
  • Games
  • Punch & Judy
  • Father Christmas
  • Festive Songs

The day is spent at the Railway Institute, Holt and begins at 10am and ends at 2pm. Alternatively we can come to you!

Free preliminary visit by a member of staff recommended.
