Coming events

The Society organizes visits, social events and talks through the year. In the autumn and winter, monthly talks are usually on Thursday evenings. In the summer, we arrange visits to local places of interest and gardens, including those of gardeners within our membership.
Unless otherwise stated, talks are at Browne's Hospital, Broad Street, Stamford PE9 1PF, there is no need to book, the cost is £5.00 and the start time is 7.00pm. Click here for booking details. We no longer require advanced booking for talks at Browne’s Hospital, and we do not issue paper tickets. We usually offer a glass of wine or a soft drink after talks, and a chance to chat to the speaker and other members. If you would like to join the Society, you would be most welcome. Details are available on this website. |
