Going online - lectures and conferences
With the Covid-19 pandemic continuing and strict regulations about social gatherings, we have taken the decision to hold our autumn/winter lecture programme online over the coming weeks and months.
The first of these is one of the lectures postponed from earlier in the year - Devizes Castle – Norman Stronghold to Victorian Folly.
David Dawson will present this lecture on Wednesday 21 October, commencing at 7.30 pm, using Zoom. The lecture was SOLD OUT as our Lecture Room only seats 70, but we now can open up the lecture to more people online! In one of David's previous online lectures, he had people attending the same talk from Canada and Australia!
We are also organising dates for other postponed lectures and the archaeology conference, as well as arranging a brand new lecture programme. As dates are confirmed we will continue to be in touch with ticket holders and updating our website and social media.
