LSA Classic Association Lecture

From the LSA Classical Association website 

The Lytham St Annes Classical Association, the UK’s largest branch of the Classical Association. They organise monthly lectures, from September to April, exploring the history, art, culture, language and literature of ancient Rome and Greece. Membership, costing just £12 a year and £5 for students, gives you free admission to the seven lectures as well as other annual events. You can find out more about joining them here.

Lectures are held at AKS Lytham, Clifton Drive South, FY8 1DT on Thursday evenings. Doors open at 6.15pm for refreshments and a chance to meet the lecturer, and talks begin at 7pm.  After a short question and answer session, meetings normally finish by 8:30pm. They are a really friendly branch and can always guarantee visitors a warm welcome, a great lecture and some lovely homemade cake!

I pull event info from across local social media and websites—basically herding cats across the internet. Most of the time it’s accurate. Occasionally, however, dates shift, venues change plans, or events vanish into the ether. If I make a mistake, it’s not sabotage—it’s the chaos of live events being… live. So before you do your hair, book a babysitter, or pre-celebrate, please double-check the details directly with the venue or organiser.
