History Group Dates Autumn and Winter. Starting 11th October

History Group talks 2026/27

The History group is pleased to offer 6 talks over the coming autumn and winter. A mixture of firm favourites and new speakers, with hopefully something for everyone.

The format is happily (lazily?) unchanged, so it’s one Monday evening per month from October through to March, in the Village Hall with the bar opening from 7pm, and the talks starting at 730pm.

Our pricing is also unchanged, at £20 per person for the full season, or £5 per talk. 

Now for the programme:

Monday 12th October – Hayling Detect on Vikings in West Sussex

Monday 9th November – Thomas Harding on the Demerara Uprising and Britain’s legacy of slavery

Monday 14th December – David Sear on sunken Suffolk villages

Monday 18th January – Manni Kirchner on Mesolithic East Hampshire

Monday 15th February – Andrew Negus with the last instalment on the history of Winchester

Monday 15th March – John McNaughton on the history of submarines

We hope this whets your appetite and look forward to welcoming many of you in October.
