Appeal for SOUTHPORT stories to commerate WW1

Appeal for soldier stories to commemorate WW1

Trinity Arts is appealing for anyone who had a relative in WW1 – or subsequent wars – to get in touch if they have a photo or story which can be used in a major exhibition in Southport in November.

To commemorate 100 years from the end of WW1 Trinity Arts is hoping to run a multi media exhibition featuring photos, stories, artwork, memorabilia, drama, poems, song and more.

Although the main focus of the exhibition will be WW1, there will also be a creative space to remember others in subsequent wars Britain has fought.

If you have a Bible used by a soldier in the trenches, they would love to display it. If you have a half torn photo, or letters, postcards, or word of mouth stories of what they endured and what happened, contact Trinity Arts today. It doesn’t just have to be a relative who fought, it could be someone who helped the war effort from home, or even how housewives managed with their loved ones overseas.

Trinity Arts is over 50 years old and, along with running Southport Young Musician of the Year, also runs an annual art exhibition in May, regular Lunchtime music events and other arts events throughout the year. It is based at Holy Trinity Church, Hoghton Street.

If you have an image, item or story, please contact: marketing@trinityarts.org.uk as soon as possible, to ensure time for research and presentation.
