Christmas told through philatelic material (with wine and mince pies)

Book now

Enjoy wine, mince pies, and the history of Christmas celebrations told through philatelic material

Christmas has gathered around its customs and traditions for over two millennia, some of which even pre-date the Christian festival itself.

From gift-giving to the sumptuous spread of a Christmas dinner table, you cannot escape the fact that we love wearing silly Christmas jumpers, eating and drinking way too much and dashing around the shops at the last-minute buying presents.

Join the Royal Philatelic Society London for some wine and mince pies, while speaker Barry Feltham uses stamps, covers, paraphernalia, and some light-hearted video clips to tell the story of Christmas and its celebrations from Neolithic times to the 21st Century.

Time: Wednesday 10 December, from 5.30pm
