More from our #FestivalDinner archives - a letter to the Editor of the Standard dated 15 July 1891 re: wages of gardeners. This gentleman earned 24 shillings a week, worth about £18k a year in today's money & on this had to support his wife & five children. https://perennial.org.uk/events/festival- dinner-2018/

We've been going back through our archives looking at the fascinating history of Perennial's Festival Dinner. Take a look at this announcement of the 45th Anniversary Festival in 1888.
