Saturday 14 November 2026
Venue: Guildhall Winchester map 
Talk
Address: Broadway, High Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 9GH Telephone: 01962 840820 Event: Professor David Olusoga – The Global History of the British Cup of Tea - 7.30pm - In this brand-new talk for 2026, David Olusoga uses art and photography, history and humour to uncover the strange and unexpected history of our national drink, adding this subject to his previous ever-popular Missing History talks. There is nothing more British than a cup of tea. Tea is our national drink and our national obsession. Yet the history of tea is the ultimate global story. It links over 350 years of British history to the histories of China, India, the Caribbean, and the United States. It encompasses the Boston Tea Party, the Opium Wars, and the history of the British East India Company. It is a story that involves industrial espionage and a vast forgotten migration within India, and the creation in Britain of a whole new world of domestic traditions and even new consumer household goods.
