Enfield Society talk: Dolly Shepherd

Kirsten Forrest, Curatorial and Interpretation Manager at Alexandra Park and Palace Charitable Trust, will talk about the fascinating story of Dolly Shepherd, who was a pioneering fairground parachutist. She was a daring performer who made her first and last jumps at Alexandra Park but also had a successful career nationally and unlike many of her pioneer friends survived accidents and went on to serve in both the First and Second World Wars.

Kirsten will also update us on recent developments at Alexandra Palace.
