This all means that our next public event is Heroes at Highclere, on the 8th and 9th September 2018 (where Downton Abbey is filmed). “ This weekend is to raise money for those who serve and those who save. There were many heroes who both died and survived during those terrible years as there are today. The lives of veterans or doctors, nurses or journalists were and are compromised in ways we can barely understand. Join us to support them. We hope Heroes at Highclere 2018 will be a fascinating and meaningful weekend”. ~ Lady Carnarvon The weekend is full of educational, exciting and spectacular events, On the ground there will be attractions for the whole family with, a First World War Field Hospital, which will be created next to “Médecins Sans Frontières”, who will set up their modern Land Rover and Field Hospital which is still in use today.
