For the last three years Susan has given a Winckley Christmas talk. In 2022 it was “Three Winckley Georgian Christmases”, in 2023 “Three Victorian Christmases” and in 2024 “Three Edwardian Christmases”. They are a huge success, so we offer the talk twice in December. This year the NEW talk is “Three Winckley War-Time Winckley Christmases”
Enjoy a cosy Christmassy afternoon. Be greeted by Christmas Songs whilst you enjoy a mince pie, mulled wine (0%) OR hot chocolate, sitting in the very comfortable seats from the Gaumont Cinema. The afternoon includes a Wartime Christmas slide show followed by the Winckley Christmas Talk.
Susan is an excellent speaker and will once again fascinate you with the outcomes of her research about how three very different families celebrated Christmas in 1914, 1918 and 1945. They are heart-warming stories, melodrama and some surprising real-life plot-twists. Their stories will make you laugh and possibly cry!
