Caravans & Charabancs Evening at the National Motor Museum Trust

In this centenary year of the outbreak of the First World War, transport historian Richard Peskett and Curator of The Caravan Club Collection Angela Willis, will host a special evening at the National Motor Museum to commemorate the legacy of the conflict. Using a wealth of material from the Trust and Caravan Club Collections, Caravans and Charabancs will explore how social and technological developments before and during the First World War, coupled with a post-war influx of surplus materials, led to a boom in leisure motoring in the decades after the conflict. Richard and Angela will tell the fascinating stories behind many previously unseen photographs, which chart the increasing demand in charabanc outings and caravan holidays amongst the British war-weary. The National Motor Museum will be open from 6.00pm before commencement of the talk for a private viewing at no extra charge. For more information call the Membership Secretary on 01590 614792 or email friends@beaulieu.co.uk
