Events/Lectures

General Arrangements

Our meetings are open to all and typically attended by 50 to 80 members and visitors. There is an entrance charge of £2 for members and £3 for visitors. Refreshments are included although a donation is appreciated.

This year the Society is participating in some of the celebrations of the National Trust’s association with Blakeney Point. These events are marked with a National Trust

All monthly meetings are held on the last Tuesday in the month at 7.30 pm in the Harbour Room at the British Legion Hall in Blakeney High Street (unless stated otherwise). There is ample parking space available outside the Hall.

We look forward to seeing you there. Please spread the word and bring your friends.
