During World War I, Poperinge was part of a small, unoccupied part of Belgium. The town grew into the nerve center of the British sector, away from the turmoil of the front lines. In the heart of this bustling town, chaplains Neville Talbot and Philip "Tubby" Clayton opened a clubhouse in December 1915. Soldiers and nurses of all ranks left the violence of war behind to enjoy a rare moment of peace and relaxation.
Even today, Talbot House offers a warm and authentic welcome. The permanent exhibition relives Talbot House's history. And in the concert hall, the Happy Hoppers put on a real show.
Out and about with children? Discover the various quests.

Finally, you can relax in the garden, perhaps with a delicious Westhoek picnic!
Looking for a more extensive Talbot House experience? Spend a night in the guesthouse and enjoy your English breakfast in the morning!

The building was used as an English soldiers' club during World War I. The house was built in the mid-18th century by the prominent Lebbe hop-merchant family. More information at: talbothouse.be
