Learn about the lives and legacy of the Indian soldiers who came to Brighton during the First World War and stayed at Brighton Pavilion as a make-shift hospital. Since then, many writers have been inspired by this rich history for their own novels and plays including novelist Umi Sinha and playwright Suchi Chatterjee.

12-2pm
Umi Sinha, author of the highly acclaimed novel, Belonging, will be leading a two-hour Creative Writing Workshop in the museum’s Education Pavilion., using the Brighton Pavilion as inspiration.
