Special Event

Jane Glennie is an actress and historian with over 30 years of experience in bringing history to life through theatrical presentations. She is known for her entertaining monologues, including this talk which humorously addresses etiquette during the end of rationing in 1953.

Jane (as ‘Mrs Cox’) will host a ‘delightful tea party’ and among her tips we shall hear tales of gruesome deaths, smuggling and gossip to find out the secret history of the Nation’s favourite drink. During the event there will be the chance to reminisce, look at original objects from the 1950s and enjoy tea and cake.

Talk: 3pm – 4pm

Refreshments: 4pm – 4.45pm
