2026 Spring Programme

The 2026 Spring Cultural programme is summarised below. Full details can be found in the Downloads page.

Topics include a professional violinist who reveals what her musical life actually entails. How plants have evolved, and in doing so both changed the Earth and continue to dominate our lives. An exploration of the life of a remarkable Victorian artist whose true importance is only now being appreciated, aspects of his lifestyle which would now be accepted, condemned him to decades of exclusion and obscurity. 

£10 per lecture, payable at the door or £30 for the 5 lecture course.
