Forthcoming Events
Our informal events usually involve visiting locations that feature in Malcolm Saville's books. We sometimes have talks and a chance to learn more about the books, the locations and other points of interest. Some of our events involve walks and/or coach trips and/or guided tours of places of interest from the books. Somehow we always manage to find somewhere convivial for refreshment and continued conversation!
We always welcome family and friends, many of whom join us regularly for our events, which cater for varying interests and capabilities - details are provided for individual events.
Members are invited to forward any photos taken at Society events to eventphotos@witchend.com so that other Society members can enjoy them when we review the year at the next Annual Gathering.
The Society welcomes suggestions from members for future events. Please use the Contact page to suggest a location and/or an activity.
