Saturdays at the Heritage Hub and Secrets online
Throughout 2026, we are continuing to hold a themed event on the first Saturday of each month at the Heritage Hub. We are currently taking bookings for 'Love, Laughter and Ever After' on 7th February, 1-3pm and then 'Hide and Seek', a focus on local wildlife and associated archive collections on 7th March, 1-4pm.
Please note that there is no event in April as it falls on the Easter Bank Holiday but we will return in May with not one but two events, firstly 'Make a note' on music and melody with live performances on 2nd May, 1-4pm and then a special event on 9th May to mark the centenary of the General Strike. More details to come. You can also engage with us from the comfort of your home via the 'Secrets Revealed' online sessions. For further information and to book for all of our events, on-site or online, please see here - Events | Heritage Hub
