We hold 9 talks (8 in-person and 1 online) a year where an invited speaker shares their story or details about their work or practice. They bring examples of their work for attendees to look at and ask questions about. We have a varied programme which renews each year.

The talks are most often held on the fourth Friday of the month. However no talks are held on: June (members meeting), September (AGM), August and December (holiday).

Doors open at 7:15pm and talks begin at 7:45pm and usually conclude around 9/9:15pm.

We provide free tea and coffee refreshments. We have a secondhand and vintage sales table available for members and visitors to browse and buy.

Please note: on very rare occasions our programme of talks may change due to circumstances beyond our control.
