A Day Out at Wembley Park in 1924

In 1924, Wembley Park hosted the British Empire Exhibition, a huge “theme park” showing off Britain’s Arts, Industry and Engineering and giving millions of visitors the chance to see the people and products from over 50 nations around the world, which were part of what was then seen as the British Empire.

As Becoming Brent commemorates the centenary of the event join Philip Grant from Wembley History Society, and experience a one day tour (from a 1924 guide book) round the exhibition, in pictures and from the comfort of your library seat.
