Hidden Voices of WW1

British history has always been diverse. Yet many important and fascinating characters have remained unheard. Come along and discover the amazing story of Hardit Singh Malik - Britain's first Indian fighter pilot and former resident of Oxford. From rebel princesses to muleteers in World War Two, it's time to bring these voices to life, and celebrate their contributions to History.

Come along to hear award winning author Bali Rai bring unheard stories to life!
