As part of bringing Knaresborough’s heritage to life, KMA is reaching out to and engaging with those in the local community who are interested in the town’s heritage. As part of this, we will be hosting monthly informative talks from fascinating guest speakers – some local faces, some from further afield. Topics featured will include archaeology, social history, geology, ecology as well as broader historical subjects. Many of our speakers are published authors who may bring copies of their works for sale and signing. These talks will take place at COGS, HG5 8AN (Chapel St, main entrance) at 7.30pm with doors opening at 7pm and will last about 45 minutes, with extra time for questions. Tickets are priced at £5 per person. Refreshments will be available. Advance booking is advised.
Talk Dates from July 2025
All our talks are held at the Centre On Gracious Street (COGS), HG5 8AN
(behind the bus station, Chapel Street main entrance, doors open at 7.10pm)
For information or advanced booking, please contact us by phone, email or call into the Heritage Centre, 12 High Street, HG5 0EQ during our opening hours, 10am-4pm on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
