Seaside holidays in the past explores the development of the English seaside holiday tradition from earliest times through to its eventual decline with the arrival of cheap package holidays in the 1970’s. The presentation involves a slide show and talk together with looking at old postcards, railway posters, seaside souvenirs and books. Emphasis can be placed on the Victorian seaside holiday, seaside holidays, seaside then and now, seaside holiday entertainment or just the seaside. The workshop is presented in a fun and lively style with lots of discussion leading to the discovery of many interesting and lesser know facts about seaside holidays. As Punch and Judy became as much a part of the seaside holiday as donkey rides and ice cream, the culmination of this workshop is a fantastic live Punch and Judy Show performed just as it would have been in years gone by.
