Andy B Old Stones Talk: Sat 7th Sept CANCELLED SORRY by Andy B on Monday, 02 September 2019
(User Info | Send a Message)
Andy will be giving his Old Stones Talk CANCELLED SORRY

Andy Burnham presents a highly illustrated talk based around many of the themes, new discoveries and mysteries highlighted in the book The Old Stones, the most comprehensive and thought-provoking field guide ever published to the iconic standing stones and prehistoric places of Britain and Ireland. He will also look at lesser known but interesting sites in Sussex and Kent.

Andy is the lead author of ‘The Old Stones‘ book alongside contributors to the vast Megalithic Portal web resource which he founded in 2001. Andy will be pleased to answer questions and sign copies on the day.

The talk will be followed by a guided tour by the Fishbourne’s Curator, Dr Rob Symmons. Tickets are £14 per person to include a glass of wine and nibbles. [This sounds quite a lot of money but effectively includes admission to the Roman Palace which is normally £9.80 an adult] Places are limited so please reserve your place by telephoning 01243 785859
