Social Brew: People's Archive Special
The Yard, Sheep Street, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, CV37 6TE
Arts & Crafts activities will be running throughout the afternoon. There will be a display of work from our youth artists celebrating their landmark moments and places in Stratford.
Each day will include spotlight presentations from our Heritage team:
12th September
- Frederick Savage, working for Stratford: a biography of a beloved postman.
- “Let’s Go Hand in Hand”: how Stratford’s theatrical families build their lives in the community.
19th September
- People Power for the Planet: a history of Stratford’s climate advocates.
- This working life: the experiences of brewers, boaters and more in Stratford’s past.
We are thrilled to be joined at our event by Second Thoughts Drama Group, who will bring these everyday histories to life!
Our team will be on hand to share how we will share these "hidden histories" in our People's Archive.
This event was supported by leading family history website, Findmypast, who provided access to their records as part of their sponsorship of ‘Everyday Histories’, the festival theme. Discover your ancestors' stories at findmypast.co.uk
