Talbot Heath School in Bournemouth was 125 years young and last Friday saw the school celebrate this milestone by having a day full of events staring with a champagne reception followed by a concert played by the school’s own pupils in our marquee. As part of the commemorative events the school opened back up one of their own air raid shelters which were actually used in the war. The shelter has been refurbished to how it was back then to become part of a living history classroom and will be a permanent archive for the school. Other events that will be happening throughout the day will be hockey and tennis matches with pupils dressed in period dress and period rackets, a fashion show of the uniforms throughout the years and historical tours led by current and former pupils.
Baroness Shirley Williams will be opening the air raid shelter and the Quad, which has been given a new lease of life.
To cover all the guests coming to this special event we hired a very large marquee complete with our infamous levelled flooring system to provide a level surface for all ages to walk on, full linings with the school’s corporate Blue valances, hundreds of chairs and tables with white damask table cloths, plus a large stage, lighting, heating and power distribution equipment.
Interesting facts: there were over 350 boards laid on the floor, 30 tonnes of equipment delivered, 2 days to install by Chris and Nick and our newest member of elegance Kurtis.
