ROYAL PAVILION’S INDIAN PAST
7
TAKE A TRIP INTO THE
Visitors to the Royal Pavilion Brighton will now be able to gain free access to a new display charting one of the most fascinating episodes in the Royal Pavilion’s history. As reported in our feature
last issue, The Royal Pavilion was offered for use as a hospital for troops from the Indian Corps wounded on the Western Front in France
and Flanders during the First World War. More than 4,000 patients received treatment at the hospital on the Royal Pavilion estate. Paintings, archive photographs (above), contemporary accounts and newsreel footage recall this remarkable story from Brighton’s history. Tel: 0300

DREAM IN BRITAIN THIS SPRING
8
RELIVE THE AMERICAN
The faded glamour of the roadside diners, motels and cinemas that epitomised the American dream of the 1950s and 1960s is the subject of Motels, Diners and Neon Lights (until 27 Jun) a new exhibition by Dorset-based photographers Tony and Eva Worobiec at National Trust’s Fox Talbot Museum in Wiltshire, one-time home of the father of photographer – William Henry Fox Talbot. “These images are as American as apple pie and George Washington,” said curator Roger Watson.

9 Get on the blossom trail
From pastel pink to pure white, the flowering of blossom on fruit trees is one of the quintessential sights of spring. To celebrate this magical time of the
year, the first ever Full Bloom Festival will sweep across the country celebrating the beauty of blossom and the importance of Britain’s traditional orchards for wildlife. Starting in the heart of the south west
the festival will kick off at the National Trust’s Cotehele in the Tamar valley on
25 April and gradually travel northwards following the emerging blossom across England, ending at Acorn Bank in Cumbria two weeks later on 9 May. The events at Cotehele and Acorn Bank
will include picnics under the trees, bug hunts, blossom walks and wildlife displays. For details of events taking place at community orchards visit new website
