Secrets Revealed - one more for 2025 but exciting plans for 2026

A fresh series of online talks for 2026 is currently being researched and written by staff at Gloucestershire Archives. You can enjoy these sessions, always on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 1pm, in the comfort of your home.  Ideal, if the weather is unpleasant or for when you just need a quiet moment to sit, relax and listen.

Each talk will be advertised via the Heritage Hub events page and a link will be sent out when you book.  

Our remaining Secrets Revealed talk for 2025 is on the popular theme of industrial heritage. Join us on 26th November at 1pm for 'Sweaty Toil and Sulphurous Airs – Gloucestershire’s Industrial Past'

However, in the New Year, our Winter-Spring programme is as follows: 

January (Love) - ‘The Talk of Negotiable Affection – a peek at the ‘oldest profession in Gloucestershire’

February (Wildlife) - ‘Red in tooth & claw – Gloucestershire wildlife’

March (Institutions) - ‘The Poor are already with us’

April (Music) - Medieval Music in the Archives

May (Sport) - ‘All shaped balls’

We look forward to seeing you there!
