Unearth the Past

  1. I attended it and it was a fantastic event. When is the next one? I can’t wait to go again!
  2. I missed getting a ticket and I’m sorry I didn’t go.

Our next tour will be 9am-11am on 8th May. Don’t be one of those sorry souls who misses out!

Secure your ticket today by booking here and be treated to stories of Redcliffe’s unearthed public figures. Places are limited so don’t delay!

Postponements and Cancellations

Tomorrow’s rescheduled Not So Spooky Cemetery walk has been postponed indefinitely until such time as the weather is more favourable to the event. Those who have booked should already have received notification of this postponement.

Regarding our Annual Trivia Night which was scheduled for 4th June, we have decided to cancel this event. We are disappointed but we are throwing all our energies into a fantastic event later in the year. The Sands of Time Local and Family History Conference will be a must do on the calendar for anyone interested in local and family history. So, while we are sad that the trivia night isn’t going ahead, there’s so much to look forward to with the conference.

For more information about Sands of Time, please visit the conference website.
