Talbot House Living History Weekend

Are you also coming to celebrate Christmas among the soldiers in their club? Far away from home and their family, these boys wanted to celebrate Christmas at all costs, just like at home. And that is exactly what Priester Tubby made possible in his Talbot House. Sheet music for Christmas carols was copied, an ox and donkey bought in a toy store and a magic show put together. Christmas had to and would go on. Ook de Poperingse children, stuck in a war that was not theirs, were invited. On December 19 and 20 we take you on a journey through time. Accompany about fifteen British soldiers on lively story tours through their club and discover the hilarious and emotional Christmas stories. During an authentic and respectful experience, our actors bring the past back to life. Sing songs with them by the old piano, take a look in their pockets and learn all about their equipment or climb the ladder to the chapel with the priest for Christmas mass. Of course no Christmas without a party. In de Concert Hall features a veritable British Christmas cake buffet with bar. Rest assured, there is also Belgian Christmas beer. This event is part of the standard visit to Talbot House on Saturday and Sunday, December 19 and 20. Reservations are not necessary, tickets are simply for sale at the door between 10 AM and 4:30 PM, we close at 5:30 PM.
