For our first talk of the 2026/7 season on Wednesday 9th September, we welcome historian and raconteur Andrew Meller who will present ‘Tolkien and the Cotswolds’.
We can expect an intriguing, illustrated talk uncovering Tolkien’s life-long interest for archaeology and myth featuring Cotswolds locations that brought Middle Earth to life.
We meet at Milton Village Hall for a 7.30pm start, with tea/coffee available beforehand.
