EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of pure joy and excitement at a children's party. The scene is set in the Camp Theatre, located in Thurleigh Airfield, Bedfordshire during the 1950s. Organized by Laings Welfare staff and members of the Committee for the children of staff working on the airfield project, this event was filled with laughter, games, and festive cheer. In this particular snapshot, we witness a lively game of musical chairs taking place. Children are seen eagerly circling around a row of chairs, their faces beaming with anticipation. Their hairstyles reflect the fashion trends of that era while their expressions reveal an innocent sense of wonderment. The atmosphere is electric as clowns entertain the young guests with their amusing antics. A film show adds to the enchantment while Santa Claus himself surprises each child with presents. Tea is served to sixty excited youngsters who revel in this memorable celebration. This heartwarming image encapsulates not only childhood innocence but also highlights Laing's commitment to fostering community spirit among its employees' families. It serves as a reminder that amidst busy work schedules and demanding projects, moments like these create lasting memories for both children and adults alike. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection, this print offers us a glimpse into family life during Christmas festivities in mid-20th century Britain – where fun-filled parties brought people together and created cherished bonds that would endure through generations.
