Events specifically for kids are in red. Whilst all the lectures are suitable for children, some may be of more interest to young minds than others. The talks coloured green are those that we especially recommend for children under the age of 12, although - of course - they are welcome at any that they care to attend....

SUNDAY EVENING: Dinner at The Farmer's Arms

More attractions to be announced soon
