Talking History – Ware have we come from?

November’s theme: Reminisce! Share your memories of Ware.

What was Ware like when you first arrived? How has our town changed over the years?

Do you remember Ware in the 1960s, 70s or 80s? Did you grow up here, move here for work or raise your family in the town? Perhaps your parents or grandparents lived in Ware, and you have stories passed down through the generations.

This month’s Talking History is all about your memories!

Join local historian John Wing for a relaxed afternoon of conversation, reminiscing about the people, places, shops, businesses and events we remember from Ware’s past.

We’d love you to bring along old photographs, family stories, memories and anything else you’d like to share. Whether you’ve lived in Ware all your life or arrived more recently, your experiences are part of our town’s history.

Come along, enjoy a cuppa, listen to other people’s stories and share a few of your own. You might even recognise an old face or discover something about Ware you never knew!

Doors open at 1.30pm, with the conversation running from 2.00pm to 3.30pm.

Tickets are £5, including a hot drink from our SMart Café. This is a fundraising event for Southern Maltings.
