Journey into the past with us!
History
Session Brief
History is full of stories about people and places, good and bad. These stories shape the way we think about ourselves and the world around us. This group is led by Steve (with occasional guest hosting slots by Ann-Marie!) who provides us with fascinating insights into past events/eras and the people involved, and generates some lively discussion!
We are not makers of history. We are made by history.

Watch a recent session recording here:
Steve gained a degree in History & Politics at Manchester Polytechnic and helped produce an online history course. Steve works hard to produce a detailed presentation for each topic, merging talking about films and TV shows with the accurate historical events/eras that they are based upon. His format for this group is brilliant - the sessions are interesting, informative and lots of fun with plenty of discussion too. Catch up on previous sessions on our YouTube Channel!
