Waterways Talks

This wide-ranging series of monthly talks, mostly about waterways, is organised by the Friends of the Museum. Talks are FREE and open to all.  They start at 7.30pm and mostly last for about an hour. Afterwards teas and coffees are served and there's a chance to socialise, discuss the talk and find out the latest news about the museum, waterways and Gloucester heritage in general. 

Talks take place in the Cory Room, which is part of the Coots Caf
é Bar complex, next door to the museum. 

Tuesday 23 March, 7.30pm
