Boxes

Reminiscence is the act of recalling past experiences…and we have a fantastic box full of objects from the 1970s to help you do so.

From vinyl records to platform shoes, we are sure that something in this box will take you back in time!

This service is available to groups of all ages. Boxes can be borrowed for up to 1 month for £10 (with a £50 returnable deposit)

We also have another box available ‘An Evening Out’ filled with items from the 1950s and 1960s, that will inspire memories of getting ready for that special night out. Examples of what is in the box:

Hair curlers, gloves and scarves, images of the opening of the Rex cinema in Berkhamsted and war time songs.

There is a charge of £10 per box for a month long period, plus a £50 returnable deposit is required.
