Oral History Collection Day

In celebration of the invention of Subbuteo in Langton Green, Tunbridge Wells by Peter Adolph, we are dedicated to building the most comprehensive Subbuteo collection in the county. To achieve this, it's crucial to capture the voices, memories, and social history surrounding this beloved game. We invite you to explore our exhibition and sit down with us to share your memories and passion for Subbuteo.

We would love to fill the gaps in our Subbuteo collection. , Particularly, football incarnations such as Angling, Table Speedway, Cycle Speedway, Horse Racing, Hockey, Snooker Express, and Subbuteo Squads. Also, Subbuteo employees including staff who followed Subbuteo with Waddingtons to the North East and came back down again, sales reps. Volunteers and local organisers from the 80s and 90s.
