Talbot House Talk in Welshpool

Talbot House – a home from home Run by the cleric Tubby Clayton, Talbot House in Poperinge, Belgium, became the ‘haven in hell’ for many British servicemen during the Great War and ultimately the inspiration behind the Toc H Movement. This illustrated talk introduces us to the house which allowed men of all ranks and religion to find some home comforts and to escape from the sounds, sights and odours of war for just a little while. Ticket also includes admission to the Longest Yarn 2 Exhibition "Britain at War" on the same day between 1.30pm and 5.15pm.
