Woodroffe Talks
The Woodroffe School, in partnership with Shute Festival, is delighted to present a new series of engaging talks, designed to appeal to a wide range of interests within the local community. These events are free and open to all – everyone is warmly invited to attend.
The talks will be held in the picturesque and historic Peek Chapel, a venue that provides a charming and intimate setting for these talks. The Chapel is accessed via a door onto the road to the left of the Alexandra Hotel at 3 Pound Street.
The series, part of the School and Shute Festival’s community outreach, aims to foster learning, conversation, and community engagement, and we are excited to welcome attendees from all walks of life. Books will be on sale at each event and the authors will sign copies.
