In 1951 Britain held a Festival of Britain, with exciting modern displays celebrating the best of British arts, architecture, science, technology and industrial design. London took centre stage with outposts of the festival in regional centres. Not to be outdone, Cirencester took the idea and ran with it.
Join us to hear about the Cotswolds contribution, from the planning to the remarkable ‘Cotswold Tradition’ exhibition. The egos, the ambition and the people who made it happen.
