SAFE HAVEN – LESLIE BRENT’ EXHIBITION Wed, 24/01/2024 - 11:00 to 15:45 Arts and Heritage The Harwich Kindertransport Memorial and Learning Trust (HKMLT) is pleased to present a very special exhibition at the Harwich Arts & Heritage Centre from Wednesday 24th – Wednesday 31st January 2024. The exhibition, “Safe Haven – Leslie Brent” highlights his amazing journey on the Kindertransport – one of the largest acts of rescue in the whole of the Nazi era – and the life he made for himself in Britain. He was one of the 10,000 mostly Jewish children who were sent to safety in Britain from 1938-1939, and like many of the children, he arrived in the Essex port of Harwich. The exhibition coincides with and commemorates the 85th Anniversary of the Kindertransport as well as Holocaust Memorial Day 2024. HKMLT unveiled a memorial ‘Safe Haven’ on the Harwich quayside in September 2022. For further information please visit www.kindertransport-memorial.org Arts and Heritage Centre, Main Road, Harwich CO12 4AJ. |

Fryatt Day. Sat, 27/07/2024 - 11:00 to 12:00 Harwich Museum In 2016, the centenary of the execution of Captain Charles Algernon Fryatt, the Harwich Society wrote to Harwich Town Council to request that the council unofficially made 27th July, the date of the execution, ‘Fryatt Day’ on the Harwich Peninsula and asked that all flags on local buildings be flown at half-mast. Harwich Town Council unanimously agreed to unofficially recognise 27th July each year as ‘Fryatt Day’ and so the flag above the Guildhall will be flown at half-mast alongside the flags flown at Harwich Society visitor attractions on Tuesday 27th July. Chairman of the Harwich Society, Colin Farnell, says, “Flying our flags at half-mast on 27th July each year is simply a small mark of respect, and we would ask any organisations on the Harwich Peninsula whose buildings fly flags to join us in paying tribute to the memory of Captain Fryatt by flying them at half-mast on ‘Fryatt Day’.” Cllr Garry Calver, who oversaw the project to refurbish Captain Fryatt’s grave in All Saints Churchyard, says, “I was with the Fryatt family at the centenary commemorations, and they were pleased and moved when I explained about ‘Fryatt Day’. They are incredibly grateful to the people of Harwich for keeping Captain Fryatt’s memory alive and this is an annual show of respect for a local and national hero.” For further information please contact Press Officer, Garry Calver on 01255 551940
