Happy Birthday Edward. Raising a coffee to you today ☕️ 🎉

On this day in 1857 Edward William Elgar was born in this little cottage in Lower Broadheath.

Elgar’s sister, Lucy, recalled his birth and said “How well I remember the day he was born! The air was sweet with the perfume of flowers, bees were humming and all the earth was lovely…”

Just like when Elgar was born it is a beautiful day today, to make your visit extra special come and listen to a talk on Elgar at 12pm and 2pm.

The Firs is open Friday-Monday 10am-5pm.
