About this event
Join us at Mildenhall Library for a free talk on the Great War Huts project in Hawstead, preserving the heritage of the First World War in Suffolk!
Great War Huts is a unique heritage project located in the heart of Suffolk, dedicated to restoring and preserving original First World War wooden buildings. These historic structures, which once served as vital spaces during the war, are being carefully restored to ensure that future generations can experience a tangible connection to this pivotal period in history.
In addition to the restoration work, Great War Huts is home to a large collection of First World War artefacts. These objects provide an invaluable insight into the everyday lives of soldiers, families, and communities affected by the war. From uniforms and equipment to personal letters and wartime memorabilia, the collection brings the past to life and offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the conflict.
Free to attend but donations for refreshments are welcome. No need to book - just drop in!
