The following talks have been given by the Maidenhead Heritage Centre. Talks are usually illustrated by slides and last about one hour. Some talks can be adapted for a shorter or longer period; we can be flexible, so please ask.
For slide shows during daylight hours, your hall should have good black-out curtains or blinds; otherwise the impact of the slides can be seriously diminished.
To discuss your requirements, please contact the Maidenhead Heritage
Centre on 01628 780555 or email: info@maidenheadheritage.org.uk.
