Please take a moment to explore our guided walks and tours in the town and wider area.
During the Great War, Talbot House in Poperinge, Belgium, a few short miles behind the front line, became a haven for thousands of allied troops – a ‘home from home’ where they enjoyed some home comforts and remembered the men that they really were. Run by a diminutive chaplain named Tubby Clayton the house became known by its army signaller’s code of Toc H and ultimately would be the inspiration for the association with that name. This play, written by Peter Gill and aimed at a family & school audience, recreates the humour, music and wonderful atmosphere of this inspirational House.
This play can be booked by your local school or organisation in the UK. Please contact Mr. Peter Gill for details.
