Description
A collection of 21 programmes and brochures from the Festival of Britain, 1951. Though most of the material is from London events, the collection includes a few prospectuses and leaflets which include details of events nationwide.
The London part of the Festival is frequently represented by items entitled "London Season of the Arts". The collection includes programmes from a wide variety of venues, which include a significant amount from Westminster Abbey, Royal Festival Hall, Royal Albert Hall and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The collection also includes two copies of a "Commemorative book of programmes" for the event "Eight Concerts of Henry Purcell's Music". The majority of these concerts took place at the Victoria and Albert Museum; the remainder took place at the Chapel of the Royal Hospital, Chelsea and at Westminster Abbey.
