Every Man's Club: Families Experience

The realities of the First World War were tough on soldiers, physically and mentally. In 1915, British Army chaplain Tubby Clayton created a place where soldiers could escape to: The Every Man’s Club. Located in Poperinghe, Belgium, the club became known as Talbot House and hosted a variety of entertainers. Regardless of rank, all soldiers were welcome. Following the success of the Waterloo Pop Up screening last year, this year we present a Pop Up Every Man’s Club. Bring your kids along for a FREE fun-filled afternoon of hands-on activities and entertainment including craft workshops and games.

Admission
The event is free, although some drinks will be charged. Capacity is limited and therefore tickets will be allocated via a ballot system. The National Army Museum believes that the ballot system is the fairest way of allocating tickets to manage any over subscription and gives all applicants an equal opportunity to attend. There is a maximum of 5 ballot entries per person. The deadline for entries to the ballot is Friday 21 October 2016 at 6.00pm. Successful applicants will be notified via email on Friday 28 October 2016
