Events

We have an interesting and varied events schedule each year, which we hope members and members of the public alike will enjoy.

We hold an Annual General Meeting in the spring, an Open Meeting in the autumn, talks (usually given by a guest speaker), and a social event such as a town walk every year.

Members get free entry to all our talks.

Upcoming Events

Deans Court, Wimborne8th April 2026 3pm Private Audio Tour of Deans Court, Wimborne

The audio tour brings to life the 1,300-year story of a manor house at the centre of a rural English community. Beginning with an introduction to the history of the house and the Hanham family, visitors are guided through the rooms where 500 years of ancestral portraits still grace the walls. Visitors will experience the history of the house as it passed from the Saxon Church to a family of adventurers, politicians, churchmen and soldiers, before being led round the ancient grounds and walled kitchen garden.
