Art History Lunchtime Talks in Hornton

‘Art House’ @ Studio B – Saturday morning art history brunch-time talks in August 2019

From Chris Woodcock (of Studio B Hornton):

‘Everything you need to know is on Art History Talks programme 2019-1 Our speakers, (who include jane Williams from Horley), are all local experts and we’re aiming for each session to be very informal and friendly, with plenty of chance for questions and discussion. There will be a break in each event for brunch refreshments and the overall running time will be no more than two hours, starting promptly at 11am.

Each speaker has nominated their favourite charity to receive the proceeds from their talk and they will say a bit about their choice on the day.

I know August seems ages away, but it would be really handy if you could tell me asap (before the end of April) if you would definitely like to attend so I can reserve places and know how things are shaping up. If you would like to invite your friends then do feel free to ask them to get in touch too.

Here’s to an arty August in North Oxfordshire!
All the best’
Chris

Fancy a Trip to Hampton Court in September?

Hampton Cout Palace

Hornton History Group is organising a coach trip to Hampton Court Palace on Saturday 7th September. The coach will be departing Hornton at 8am and stopping in Horley at 8.10.

Numbers and deposits need to be ascertained and secured hence the need for it to be advertised so early.

Says organiser Jane Wain:

‘We aim to leave London at 7pm, allowing time after your day at the palace to find somewhere to eat from the many restaurants nearby. The cost of the trip is still to be finally determined depending on numbers and whether you are eligible for a concession ticket, but will be approx £30/35, for entry to the palace and the coach’.

If interested, please contact Jane Wain on 01295 670716  or email  jmwain@zoho.com.
