Archivist Caitlin Clearwater said: “The archives and local studies library are a natural meeting place for those just beginning their local history journey, and seasoned researchers alike.

“You are invited to showcase your current research project, find out what other researchers are up to, and connect with others who have an interest in local history research.”

Register by emailing [email protected]. Paid parking in the car park is available, with free accessible spaces for blue badge holders.
