Writtle: Birthplace of Radio Celebration Parade
11th February 2022, 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Children are invited to wear 1920s dress today, as we celebrate the centenary of the first entertainment radio broadcast, made in Writtle, which led to the birth of the BBC. A parade will process from the infant school at 4.30pm towards the village green. This is not a school event so families must accompany and supervise their children. We are grateful to Chelmsford Ideas Hub for their organisation of this event.
