Join us to explore the history of one of St John's most notable ambulances.
About this Event

Discover more about the Order of St John, St John Ambulance and the history of Clerkenwell at our free Ten-Minute Talk and Tea events which take place on the second Thursday of every month. Tea and biscuits provided.

Built in 1929, Sympathy was the first motor-ambulance of the St John Ambulance Division in Sidmouth. In the decades that followed, she was used in London during the Blitz; fell into disrepair; and has been completely restored to her former glory. Join this talk to learn more about the only historic ambulance in St John’s collection.

This is a free event. Drop-ins are welcome, or you can pre-register through Eventbrite. The event will take place in the Museum Galleries which are on ground level with step-free access throughout.
