Edwardian Assembly - launching this month

November 30, 2009

Are you celebrating your centenary or exploring this early part of the 20th century? December will see the launch of our first Edwardian Assembly session - a completely new approach and format for Freshwater.

As a result, we’ve been doing some digging and discovered loads of interesting facts and events from this era, which - let’s be honest - had a hard act to follow in the Victorian era. Queen Victoria’s son, Edward VII, ruled from 1901-1910 but the Edwardian era is often regarded as lasting from the mid 1890s into World War One.

The period saw the rise of the Suffragette movement, the emergence of great writers and explorers such as Beatrix Potter and Robert Falcon Scott, however, most importantly (as far as we’re concerned!) the era saw the launch of Marmite, Cadbury’s Dairy Milk and Typhoo. The Olympics were also held in London in 1908 - which leads conveniently into discussion about the London 2012 Olympics.
