Our next talk is on Friday 23 May 2025, at 7.45pm in Clements Hall. Please note our doors will be open at 7.30 pm.
There will be a change to our previously advertised May talk, as unfortunately our archaeology speaker is now no longer available.
The history of Rowntree Park
A talk by Anne Houson
Rowntree Park was gifted to the people of York over 100 years ago. Since then the people of York have experienced wars, changes in the economy, the climate, and a national pandemic. This talk will look at how the park and our relationship to it has changed over those years.

Please note we are offering online only membership for £5. This type of membership entitles the member to view recordings of the talks at home on a computer or tablet. The online member would receive the link automatically as soon as the recording is made, usually a week or so after the live talk. We record all the talks that we are allowed to by the speakers. Very occasionally a speaker does not wish to be recorded.
