SUN DAY 25 J ULY
SELINA TO DD Sun 25 July 10am – 11am Pavilion Arts Centre £12 Snakes and Ladders: The Great British Social Mobility Myth From servants’ children who became clerks in Victorian Britain, to managers made redundant by the 2008 financial crash, travelling up or down the social ladder has been a fact of British life for more than a century. Snakes and Ladders shows how a powerful elite on the top rungs have clung to their perch and prevented others ascending. It also introduces the unsung heroes who created more room at the top – among them adult educators, feminists and trade unionists, whose achievements unleashed the hidden talents of thousands of people.
