Actvities

All talks are held in United Reformed Church, High Street, Newport Pagnell MK16 8AB, and start at 7.30pm. Walks start points and details will be advertised on posters and at talks.

As well as learning about history we contribute to giving guided tours of the town for ourselves and for other groups during the town's Festival and Carnival. We also encourage visits from local schools and youth groups.

The Society takes an active interest in all local planning applications and makes representation if we feel they would have a detrimental effect on the character of the area. We were also involved in the recent updating of locally Listed Buildings.

As well as our museum we have a programme of talks and other activities. The current year's programme includes guided tours, talks and members' participation evenings where all sorts of members interests are covered.

General contacts can be made via the button at the bottom of each page
