Lecture Programme

Between the Autumn and Spring (usually September to April) we organize a programme of monthly lectures on Wednesday evenings and Saturday afternoons in the Lecture Theatre of the Grosvenor Museum, unless otherwise stated. Our lectures cover a wide range of topics and are given by speakers who are experts in their field. In addition, conferences are occasionally organized in partnership with other organizations. Admission to lectures is free to members of the Society. Visitors are welcome on payment of an admission fee of £3.00.

The Society requests that members and visitors take their seats at least five minutes before a lecture is scheduled to start so that meetings can begin on time.
