1940s DAY AT BENTLEY PRIORY: Saturday 22 May

St Luke's is delighted to join forces with Bentley Priory Battle of Britain Trust to transport you back to the forties. Bentley Priory is a handsome country house on Stanmore Hill which has gone down in history as the headquarters of Fighter Command, the spot from which Sir Hugh Dowding directed his men in the Battle of Britain.

There will be two events on the day:

Open Afternoon

Afternoon teas, Spitfire display, military, brass and steel pan bands, tours of the priory, dance, drill and re-enactment displays, art exhibition, children's workshops and activities, and lots more. Entrance ticket £3.50, children free. Guided tours of the Priory, which must be pre-booked are available for a minimum donation of £2.

Big Band Night

A great chance to enjoy a summer evening at this historic venue which is rarely open to the public. Relax on the terrace with panoramic views of London or enjoy a drink in the officers' mess before a two course dinner and dancing to the sounds of Gregg McCann & The Hands of Jazz. The evening will include forties dance displays and an art exhibition, as well as forties music from the Apollo Male Voice Choir.

Full price £25 to include two-course meal.

Discount price of £22.50 available to pensioners, and those booking before the end of March.
