Forthcoming Events 2025
From 2025, we are introducing online booking for our talks. This is because they have become very popular and we have found ourselves turning people away at the door. We decided it was more convenient for people to know whether they had a place before making the journey to the theatre.
Booking will usually open on the Monday after the previous talk has taken place. There will be a link to the booking site on this page.
