Join us for an enriching evening of heritage and history!  We delve into Nottinghamshire’s fascinating equine past with a captivating talk by Janine Buckley.  From the grandeur of country estates to the depths of coal mines, discover the stories of Nottinghamshire’s unsung heroes – the equine workers and their stables. Janine Buckley, Historic Environment Officer for Nottinghamshire County Council, will unveil the intriguing tales unearthed through the Miner 2 Major Lottery funded project.

Through meticulous research, Janine sheds light on the often-neglected stables of Sherwood Forest’s historic estates, offering insights into the lives of those who once inhabited them. This endeavour has been made possible by the support of the National Lottery Heritage Fund.  Copies of Janine’s recently published works on colliery pit ponies and country house stables will be available for signing. Attendees will have the opportunity to receive a complimentary copy.

We encourage you to join us following our AGM for an evening of intellectual engagement and celebration. We look forward to your presence.
