**Online** Ten - and More - Famous Belgians
Talks & Demos | Nationwide event hosted by Pride of Kent Branch
Friday 24 October 2025 at 2.00pm
Melanie Gibson-Barton's talk will show that the people of the tiny country of Belgium, not given their independence until 1830, are famous for more than their chocolate, chips and beer. The wide-ranging talk will give the stories of men and women born through the centuries to modern times in the area covered by present-day Belgium; a country just 14% the size of the United Kingdom. Melanie sets out to prove that there are many reasons to be grateful to this tiny country, where she had a second home for many years.
