Audio Descriptive Talk and Tea: Edible Ink and Enduring Love

Amie Hampsheir-Gill

Join us for a series of descriptive talks and object handling exploring key objects in the collection. These sessions have been designed for blind and partially sighted visitors.

During the First World War, when paper was scarce and home felt worlds away, soldiers found a surprising way to stay connected – with their rations. Discover the curious tale of the army biscuit that doubled as a postcard, carrying messages of love, humour, and hope from the front lines to the home front. This bite-sized talk explores how even the hardest of foods softened hearts across continents.

This is a free event and takes place in the Museum Galleries which have step-free access throughout. All our speakers have all been trained by VocalEyes.
