On Saturday 15th March, at 13:00, come to visit the unique volunteer run Peek Frean Museum for a cup of something and join a talk by Gary Magoldand. ‘Biscuit Box 1925-1975. A glimpse of the Peek Frean staff magazine.’ ‘Peek Freans Museum, is a treasure trove of biscuit heritage. Colourfully decorated tins glitter in cabinets. There are old advertisements, images of employees in flour-caked aprons, special Twiglet-cutting blades — even antique biscuits still in their packaging, decades past their best-before. Holding court in the centre of the room is a replica of a wedding cake gifted by Peek Freans to the then-Princess Elizabeth, when she married in 1947. A towering Haversham-esque thing, it even features iced battleships — a nod to her husband’s naval links.’ Will Noble, The Londonist. We will meet at Gate 1, 100, Drummond Road, SE16 4DG.
