Royston and District Local History Society
Programme
The Society organises a number of talks by experts in their field to which members and the public are invited. Every summer it also organises coach trips to places which may be of interest to members.
We meet on the first Thursday of each month from October to May, except where New Year's Day is very close to, or on, the first Thursday of January.
A list of the talks for the 2025 - 26 season is shown below. Information on the AGM and the Society’s outing will appear in due course.
The Royston Institute built in 1855 and now Royston’s Town Hall where the Society meets.
