Online Talks and Podcasts

Toby Driver U-Tube talk – Archaeology of the Gwent Levels

Blog

The new list of lectures for the 2026-27 season contains an interesting range of subjects – so there should be something for everyone.

This season, we are only including two Zoom lectures from the Melville. But, as an experiment, we will be having one lecture in the Borough Theatre in the afternoon, rather than the evening. In the past we have had a mixed response to any changes in how we offer the lectures but we are hoping to please those members who dislike going out on dark winter evenings.

We have recently published the third of our story books for children about Abergavenny in the past. Please let any history-loving children in your family know about it and about our monthly feature on the Young ALHS page of this website.
