We’ll Meet Again!!
I recently had a very interesting conversation with one of our guests, he had heard that we run a “We’ll Meet Again Break” out of season. The gentleman, Mr Jim Wright informed me that he had been researching all about the “Evacuees” of W.W.2. His research had taken him all around the country, to meet people and find out firsthand what it had been like to be an evacuee in these different areas. He himself was an evacuee, which spurned his passion to find out as much as he could. Trawling through record offices for any little bit of information in order to compile his findings.

I also found out that there is a Bi –Monthly magazine “The Evacuee”. This a really lovely magazine for anyone interested in the subject of the great British children and others during the Second World War. The magazine is run by ERA, Evacuees Reunion Association which is a voluntary organisation and membership is open to anyone the annual subscription is £20 and the Evacuee is sent to you at no extra cost.
Llandudno also has a “Home Front” visitor centre/museum, this unique living history museum, take a self guided tour and explore 6 years of war on the home front captured in shops, room displays and tableaux.
If this has wetted your appetite and you are interested in coming to one of our themed “We’ll Meet Again” breaks these run during the months of October and February. For more details and availability please contact our reception team who will be pleased to help.
