Black Country Living Museum's Windrush Stories Day returns celebrating the real voices, stories and contributions of the Windrush Generation.
Be part of bringing to life the experiences of those who made a new home in the Black Country after arriving from the Caribbean and across the Commonwealth.
Take part in gospel singing in the Methodist Chapel, enjoy delicious food, try your hand at Jamaican dominoes in the Elephant and Castle pub and join the lively steel pan workshop to experience the vibrant sounds of the Caribbean.
Meet historic characters like Fitzroy, who came to help rebuild post-war Britain, and Carmen, a Jamaican mother navigating life in 1950s Dudley. Participate in Cicilyn’s mothercraft classes as she shares her experiences of training and working in the NHS as a Jamaican woman. Their stories offer a powerful glimpse into the lives of the people behind the Windrush legacy.
All activities are included with museum admission.
