About this Event

2pm – 3.15pm

Join author and social Historian Pam Fox in person for a wonderfully nostalgic and lively afternoon exploring the world of Jewish hotels and guesthouses in Bournemouth.

Based on her acclaimed book Jews by the Seaside, Pam’s talk dives into the golden age of Jewish seaside holidays, boarding houses, ballroom dancing, family summers and the unique culture that flourished on the south coast.

Drawing on years of research, Jewish Chronicle archives, and more than 100 personal interviews, this promises to be a fascinating journey through a lost world of British Jewish life.

✨ Includes a live Q&A with Pam
📚 Signed copies of the book will be available to purchase
