Talks in the Museum

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.

Talks in the Community

The Curator is able to give talks to community groups. Each talk lasts for approximately 40 minutes. The talks are complimented by the Museums handling collection of artefacts and a series of handouts. A donation towards Museum funds is appreciated for each talk.

These are the talks that are currently available:
