Apart from our display galleries, we hold several temporary exhibitions and workshops during the year. The pop-up exhibitions showcase a wide variety of exciting themes, from local and national history, art and photography to famous residents of Thame. Workshops have included lace-making, calligraphy, and wine-tasting, as well as children’s craft activities.
We also hold a series of regular talks by renowned authors and historians. These talks are also live-streamed to enable viewing at home. Tickets are available from our online shop.
All events and exhibitions are held in the Community Room.
