England '66: The Best Of Times?

It was a year when England won the World Cup and led the world in all aspects of popular culture, including pop music, fashion, and film. But it was also a time of sterling crises, wage and price freezes, and industrial strife. Contemporary specialist Mark Dunton looks at a nation caught between optimism and decline.

This season we will be presenting a series of events that look at the relationship between culture and society. How do these two concepts work together to inform our perceptions of creativity, community and identity?

We run an exciting range of events and exhibitions on a wide variety of topics. For more details, visit nationalarchives.gov.uk/whatson. 

Entrance to The National Archives is free and there is no need to book, see nationalarchives.gov.uk/visit for more information.
