Museum of the Manchester Regiment Talks
Each year the Museum hosts a series of talks, on a range of subjects, often in partnership with other bodies. Each of our talks highlight a lesser-known aspect of our Regimental story.
Some of these talks compliment special exhibitions in the Museum, new publications or events and activities we are involved with.
