PROGRAMME
Our 2024 – 2025 season consists of six monthly talks from October 2024 to March 2025 and, as usual, covers a wide range of topics.
The talks are held in the Eastgate Theatre, Peebles and are open to all.
Tickets for individual talks cost £12 from the theatre box office (01721 725777), but the best way to enjoy the talks is to become a Member of the Society. This costs just £30 and gives you entry to all six talks in the season. Full details can be found on the Membership page.
