Diary of Events

Museum Talks: 2021 Series

September 11th – The Lincolne Letters

The launch of our new book, ‘The Lincolne Letters’, based on a newly discovered cache of letters, giving a fascinating glimpse into the daily lives  and concerns of a Victorian family living in Halesworth in the first half of the 19th century. The launch event will feature the story of their discovery and an introduction to the times in which they were written.  The letters will be brought to life by actors from Circle 67, who take on the roles of key members of this busy family as they exchange letters of love, loss, learning, religion and the news of the day.

This event forms part of the Two Rivers Book Festival. There will be two talks: one at 11:15 am and the other at 7:30pm (doors open half an hour before the start).

United Reformed Church, Quay Street, Halesworth IP19 8EP.

Admission: £6∙00; Friends of the Museum: £3∙00.

Books will be on sale after the talks.
