We'll Meet Again!

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.

We'll Meet Again Breaks

Our popular We'll Meet Again Breaks have now come to an end until February next year, once again they were a roaring success with our guests who enjoyed the Ration Books that gave them all complimentary extras!! 1940 it may have been but there was no rationing here!!

The fancy dress competition was another great hit and keeps getting more and more competitive each time we hold it!!

If anyone has any photos of the fancy dress costumes and would like to share them with us please email them to me and I will post them on the blog.

Today sees the first day of our Holly & Mistletoe breaks and we are all busy putting up the trimmings, decking the halls with holly and the Christmas trees are being festooned with baubles and twinkling lights, ready for our guests joining us this week.

 The mince pies are cooking in the kitchen and the smell that is wafting up into the office is tantalising my nostrils!! I do so love Christmas and I am so glad that I get an extended one working at the St Kilda.

Each year we see the return of familiar faces who are meeting up with family and friends, to enjoy the festive atmosphere and of course we love to welcome all our new guests who have yet to enjoy the spirit of St Kilda.

If you are coming to stay don't forget to bring your cameras and then send me some

 fab photos for the blog please.

If you haven't booked yet, it is not to late we even have some special offers on that might interest you,

so give us a call so we can let Santa know you are coming stay!!
