Eight children from some of the UK’s biggest cities are set to be part of a new series called Evacuees: Children of War. The series will see them travel back in time and experienced what it was like to live as an evacuee at the beginning of the Second World War in a rural, Welsh-speaking community.
Titled Efaciwîs: Plant y Rhyfel (Evacuees: Children of the War), the series begins on January 30, 2022, on BBC iPlayer and Welsh channel S4C.
The eight young people, aged between eight and 14, left their families for a couple of weeks to live in Llanuwchllyn – a remote village in the north of Wales which hosted evacuees during the Second World War.
