Lecture Group

A friendly and inclusive group interested in learning about different subjects.

A series of six lectures is held every Spring and Autumn in the Arnside W.I. & Village Hall from 2.15pm to approximately 4pm – allowing time for questions and discussion and a break for tea and coffee. Lectures are £4 per session.

The programme for Autumn 2025 is a series of illustrated talks looking at ‘English Gardens Through The Ages’, with Garden Historian, Elaine Taylor MA, exploring changing styles and plant introductions. Details can be found here.

The programme for winter/spring 2026 will be announced shortly.

Lecturers and presenters are engaged to speak on subjects for which they have established local and/or nationally recognised expertise. A wide variety of topics are covered to cater for all interests and ideas for future series are always appreciated.

New volunteers are always welcome. All help is appreciated and there are many ways in which you can do this. Without continued support and attendance, the group would not be able to function and provide lectures regularly to the members.

Above all we hope people enjoy the lectures and maybe learn something new and interesting along the way.

Come and join us. New committee members would be very welcome.
