Programme of Meetings, 2026

Society meetings are held on Wednesdays and start at 7 p.m. All welcome, no charge: you don’t even have to be a member, just sympathetic to our aims!

Most of our meetings are now Hybrid, being held both online, via Zoom, and in person. To attend online you'll need the Zoom link, sent out in our monthly Newsletter. If you're not currently receiving our Newsletters, please sign up using the form on our "Contact" page.

Our hybrid meetings are now being held in the Craig Room, Falkland Church.

The principal ambition of our lecture programme is always to honour aspects of our cultural and social history through stories of art, archaeology, architecture and history relevant to Falkland but not necessarily local. We trawl our circles of friendship and acquaintance vigorously for speakers who are active in their chosen fields.
