April Guest Speaker

This month’s History Society guest speaker is Irene Lofthouse, giving her talk on two prominent local women, Rachel Leach and Anne Lister. Irene spends her time excavating hidden histories and secret stories. Gathering the bones, fleshing them out, dressing them in suitable attire to enable them to live again and tell their tales, recreating lost times, linking the past in the present and inspiring audiences to think about their own lived experiences.

This talk is happening upstairs at Keighley Library on Wednesday 13th April 2022 and is open to both members and non-members. The charge for non-members is £3, payable on the door. To reserve a place, please email klyhistory@yahoo.com

If members wish they can join in by Zoom instead (this option is only available to paid-up History Society members). Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start. Please check social media or our website nearer the time for any updates.
