About This Event

A talk at The Guildford Institute in Guildford on 2 September 2026 examines Charlie Chaplin’s early life, including his childhood in poverty, periods spent in the Lambeth workhouse, and formative experiences before his rise to international fame.

This talk tells you about Charlie’s life before he became a superstar. His childhood years in poverty, in and out of the workhouse in Lambeth, and then as a child performer in the theatre and as a young comedian in the music hall. Learn more about how he was discovered and how many of his early experiences and homes were reproduced in his Hollywood career. Ian is a historian, novelist, public speaker and walks guide. We’re delighted to offer our afternoon talks on a Pay What You Can basis. We believe everyone should have access to educational and cultural opportunities, and that no one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances. Our talks are £7 for all – if anyone feels they need to pay less than this, please call the team or visit us in person.

Description supplied by the event organiser.
