LitHouses warmly invites all writers' & musicians' houses & museums - and associated scholars, students & enthusiasts - to its 21st Annual Meeting at @Newstead_Abbey in the bicentennial year of Byron's death lithouses.org/download/2024L… 🖋🏡



We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded full museum accreditation from Arts Council England!!! This a big achievement for a small, independent museum and we couldn't be prouder! 🤩 elizabethgaskellhouse.co.uk/elizabeth-gask…

We’re excited to hear historian and classicist, Professor Mary Beard, speak at our Octavia Hill Lecture, in collaboration with @TimesRadio tonight. We’re recording the event which explores the theme, ‘who owns the past?’ and will share soon.
