Sir Harold Hillier Gardens

The 1970s: The Decade That Taste Forgot - Lecture Lunch 

Wednesday 3rd March 2027 

11.00am

Relive the unforgettable highs and lows of Britain's most colourful decade. From Space Hoppers, Raleigh Chopper bikes and Ford Cortinas to flared trousers, platform shoes and unforgettable fashions, the 1970s were anything but dull.

Alongside the fun came strikes by miners, postal workers and dustmen, the three-day week, power cuts, the scorching drought of 1976, and the Winter of Discontent.

Even ITV disappeared from our screens for five months. Packed with nostalgia, humour, music and memorable moments, this entertaining talk offers a wry and affectionate look back at a remarkable decade in British history.

Coffee at 11am, followed by lecture by renowned speaker and cruise line lecturer Julian Gee. Afterwards enjoy a delicious two-course lunch served in Jermyn’s House, set in the heart of the Gardens.
