Illustrated Talks

From September to April there is a programme of illustrated talks, one a month, held in Helmsley. These are on a wide range of topics, mostly concerning the archaeology and history of the local area. During the summer months, a series of visits is arranged, often to sites which have featured in the previous winter’s talks.
