Join us for our popular Winter online talks monthly from november 2024 through March 2025.

As the weather gets colder enjoy warming seasonal insights into the history of our collections from new and interesting perspectives

For our 2024-25 Winter Online talks series we’re delighted to welcome chef Cordula Peters, historian and chef Dr Neil Buttery, antique expert John Sandon, poet and writer Nina Lewis, and internationally-acclaimed artists Neil Musson and Jono Retallick. We’ll range from 18th century festive puddings to a poetry speakeasy to a contemporary public art launch teaser!

These talks are offered free of charge but we welcome donations to support the Museum’s work looking after the collections and making them available as widely as possible. You can donate as part of the booking process if you wish or by clicking the donate link on each page. Why we need your help.

They take place over zoom on a Wednesday night at 6pm – commencing on 13th November, then the second Wednesday of the month until 12th March 2025.
