At your Leisure: Holidays, fun and games in times past

The Heritage Hub celebrates summer with an exhibition featuring leisure and holidays in the Borders in an age when there was no television and no internet.

Postcards, photographs, travel diaries and other fascinating documents evoke local pastimes, sporting activities and entertainment. Even the annual accounts of a sporting club can tell a story and help to show us how people spent their leisure time.

This exhibition shows a wide range of material representing different social classes from all over the Scottish Borders from the Regency period to the 1950s.
