Our monthly lecture meetings are held on the second Thursday of the month from September to June at Church Cottage, Church Square, Basingstoke, starting at 7:30 pm.
Church Cottage is a Tudor building tucked away behind St Michael’s Church in central Basingstoke.
Our lectures feature recent developments in Archaeology and Historical research, and are often delivered by recognised authorities on a specific topic. Recent speakers have included Professor Sir Barry Cunliffe, Julian Richards and Professor Chris Stringer. A selection of past lectures can be found here.
The meetings are open to anyone. For non society members there is a charge of £3 for admission which can be offset against membership subscription.
