To mark the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day (VE Day), The Amelia Scott will be hosting a talk about local indivuduals who were awarded a Victoria Cross for their services during the Second World War.

Join us at The Amelia for our next Human Library taking place on the 8th of May. To mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, we will have knowledgable individuals (human books) stationed in our Upper Atrium, sharing their experiences and expertise on what it was like living in Tunbridge Wells during the Second World War. Visitors will have the opportunity to ask the human books questions and handle some artefacts from The Amelia's historic collection.     

At 10.50am there will be a short Act of Remembrance at the War Memorial, where the Mayor of Tunbridge Wells, Deputy Lieutenant of Kent, and the Royal British Legion will lay wreaths. Tributes will also be paid by cadets from TS Brilliant (Royal Tunbridge Wells Sea Cadets and Royal Marines Cadets), Tunbridge Wells Girls' Grammar School, and The Skinners' School. All are invited.
