Imagine you have been quarantined on a ship at Fort Lytton because of the outbreak of Spanish flu. Experience a chamber music concert that may have entertained on the deck of a quarantined ship filled returning WW1 soldiers.
The day includes tours of the Q Station, a display representing the isolation hospital in 1919, and an encampment of soldiers in the paddock representing the Military guard. Fort Lytton Military Precinct comes alive with music and re-enactments of events in 1919. Chamber music from Yellow Bird Trio and Vivace.
