The 1970s: The Decade That Taste Forgot

Wednesday 3 March, 11am 

Relive the highs and lows of Britain’s most colourful decade. From Space Hoppers, Raleigh Choppers and Ford Cortinas to flared trousers and platform shoes, the 1970s were anything but dull. Alongside the fun came miners’ strikes, the three-day week, power cuts, the drought of 1976 and the Winter of Discontent. Even ITV vanished from screens for five months. Packed with nostalgia, humour, music and memorable moments, this entertaining talk offers an affectionate look back at a remarkable era in modern British social history.

Coffee at 11am, followed by lecture by renowned speaker and cruise line lecturer Julian Gee. Afterwards enjoy a delicious two-course lunch served in Jermyn’s House, set in the heart of the Gardens.
