Speakers

We have 3 of our volunteers who regularly give talks to local history societies and other interested groups.

We offer the following talks listed below; if you require a talk on a specific topic not listed here and provide enough notice, we may be able to tailor a talk for your group.

All talks given by volunteers are by private arrangement between the group and the speaker; the Royal Hampshire Regiment Museum is happy to put you both in touch with each other, but after that will step back from any other administrative or contractual arrangement.
