The Towneley Hall Society    Burnley, Lancashire

We hold lectures every month (usually on the second Monday of the month) from September through to May.  

Members can bring guests - a small charge is made for non-members.

Recent lectures have been - “The Story of The Iroquois League” by Graham Kemp, “Burnley Now & Then” by Edward Walton from the Burnley Civic Trust   and  “Fact & Fiction, Recollection & Reminiscence: the bothersome art of memoir” by Katie Grant -  daughter of the late Sir Simon Towneley.
