"And when the American's came" was said so often during interviews of local people recounting Bude between 1939-1954. This interesting, entertaining and illustrated history talk presents the narrative of local people and what Bude was like during the Ration Years. The American Rangers trained on Bude beaches for D-Day Pointe du Hoc. We bring those stories to life and then serve a living history afternoon tea made of original WWII recipes.
Enjoy our History Talk & Afternoon Tea every Wednesday 5pm-7pm and Friday 3pm-5pm.
