Entitled 'Webbed Feet to Green Wellies', we take a journey through Fenland history with Mike, from 1066 to the present day. And, as ever with Mike's extremely popular talks, there will be an opportunity to chat to him afterwards, and share your own Fenland memories.

May 18th, 1610 – 1799: Drainage and the Civil War

June 22nd, Fens in the 1800’s: Riots, hardship ... and opium!

​
Doors open 19.00 for 19.30 start.
£3 per person (per talk).
