This is set to be an enthralling event, including a local community performance set in 1917, telling the story of Private John Meeke MM and Major William Redmond. It also includes a panel based exhibition which looks at local stories from the Battles of Messines and Passchendaele.
The event is free and starts at 7pm on Tuesday 28th November. A great event for those who are interested in history and the Battle of Messines.
