Talbot House is typical British club, founded during the Great War to offer a home from home to over half a million soldiers. It was and very much still is run on the basis of some engenius house rules, such as the Every Man's Club principle. Here you can find peace in the beautiful English garden, enjoy a cuppa in the canteen whilst the old piano plays another tune. Upstairs, you'll find comfort in the original chapel of the House. A visit to Talbot House is truly an authentic experience. But there's more. Why not go and enjoy the Happy Hoppers show in the original Concert Hall? Explore a temporary exhibition, have a chat with the resident wardens or discover the new permanent exhibition (2020) which showcases 500 artefacts from the Talbot House archives, spanning over a full century. Also, did you know Talbot House is a Guest House where you can stay the night? It's by far the most authentic accommodation on the Western Front with every room having its own story. See you soon!
