Welfare

Work:: Welfare (S0197054492)

A story of The Derbyshire Miners' Holiday Camp in Skegness. The Derbyshire Miners Holiday Camp was opened in 1939 and was the blueprint of the holiday camps we have today. It was seen as a pioneering venture and was part of a broad range of welfare benefits enabling miners and their families to have a week's holiday by the sea, many for the first time. WELFARE pays homage to the camp and is funny, touching and nostalgic, a play perfect for basking in precious holiday memories spent by the seaside where audiences can expect brass bands, rousing speeches, entertainment and a whole load of bingo!
