At the previous event there were talks representing modern viewpoints on such subjects as Che Guevara, Roman Mosaics, The Last Emperors of China, King Henry I and King John, and The Georgian Middle Class.

We will not have confirmation of the 2016 topics until later. In the meantime we present a fascinating portrait from the last series, which illustrated the talk on the Georgian middle class.

More Upcoming Talks

Talks are held in the Digby Hall, Hound Street, Sherborne, starting at 8pm.

Complimentary tea and coffee are available from 7.15pm.
