The Stamford Lectures are an enjoyable series of informative and entertaining talks from speakers who are experts in their particular field.
The lectures support our ethos of encouraging independent learning and intellectual curiosity. They are as valuable for inspiring debate and discussion at home and in the classroom as they are for being thought-provoking and imparting knowledge.
Our lectures are completely free of charge and are run as part of our commitment to supporting lifelong learning within our community and beyond. However, we welcome voluntary donations and the money you donate will go to supporting our bursary programme for local children.
