Tales of wartime posties and readings from letters will be on offer when a postal museum’s storage facility opens for an evening.

A theatre group will attempt to bring to life the stories behind the exhibits in the British Postal Museum and Archive store in Lenthall Road, off Langston Road in Debden on May 16.

The free event, which runs from 6pm to 9pm, is due to include performances by the Big Wheel Theatre Company, craft workshops and a preview of artefacts from the Second World War.
