A TWO-DAY exhibition will explore what it was like to live in Earlston during the war.

Taking place this weekend in the Church Hall, the event will feature a range of unseen material.

It has been organised by the local heritage group, Auld Earlston.

A spokesperson told us: “The focus of the exhibition this year is Earlston in War and Peace: 1914-1949 – with displays of vintage photographs and memorabilia on wartime in the town and life in the inter-war years.

“Much of the material has not previously been on display and will include a key feature on the Ercildoune Pageant of 1934.

“Older residents have also contributed their recollections on what it was like growing up during the Second World War.

“Throughout the two days, four slide shows will be shown, to include a short film of Earlston in the 1930s. These will take place on Saturday at 11am and 2pm and on Sunday 1pm and 2.30pm.”

The exhibition runs from 10am-4pm on Saturday and 12-4pm on Sunday.

Entry costs £3 including tea/coffee. Children go free.

The group also wants to hear from locals willing to share their own memories.
