Events
UPDATED 22nd July with new events (listed in Pink)
OUR EVENTS
The Society holds events throughout the year which are usually open to both Members and Non-Members. With monthly presentation talks, guided local walks and more on offer, and topics covering history, heritage, modern times and even the future, these events are usually Penarth focused, but sometimes we have guest speakers who just have an interesting story of their own to tell, or a local project or initiative they would like to promote.
Our Sub-Groups' & Cross-Community Collaboration Events
Our sub-groups also occasionally hold events, and sometimes we team up with other local groups and organisations to host or participate in events and activities with them. We will also list these here.
SEE BELOW for our current programme.
Don't forget to also check our Facebook Pages for event updates (also available to view on our homepage without the need for a Facebook account).
