Programme 2023 - 2024
The Local History Group meets on the second Monday of each month, except for January and from July to September, to present and discuss topics of historical interest. We enjoy many fascinating talks and welcome new participants to come along and join in with us.
All talks will be held in the Methodist church, Main Street, Woodhouse Eaves, LE12 8RY, on the second Monday of the month at 7.30pm.
The membership system is suspended this year: all visitors will be asked to pay £4 in cash at the door.
If you haven't received email reminders in the past and would like to receive these in the future, then please use the 'Contact Us' link below and we will add you to our mailing list.
