We are a very active society, with close to 300 members and a regular attendance of 80 at our monthly talks. Our members have undertaken research projects on a variety of topics.
Talks
We have a varied programme of monthly talks which take place in Campden Town Hall on Thursday evenings at 7.30pm, generally with an outside speaker, from September to April. For more information on forthcoming and past talks click on the link below. During the Covid-19 pandemic we have continued to present talks via Zoom, which have been well-attended, including a number of members who are not normally able to come to the Town Hall.
Talks
Talking Local History
If you are interested in the history of the local area, your house and the families who lived there then our local study group could be for you. Our meetings are led by members, on a topic of local or family interest. For more information go to the Talks page above.
Outings and events
We occasionally arrange outings to places of historical interest; other events may be planned to promote particular activities or exhibitions.
