Leamington History Café
Our Leamington History Group Café meets weekly on Tuesdays 9.30 – 11 a.m. for Coffee, History and Chat. We are a friendly, sociable group and everyone is welcome.
We have informal talks on a range of local history topics, starting at 10 a.m. by volunteer speakers.
The Café is free but we ask for a small donation towards room costs and refreshments.
We meet at 13, The Band Factory, Althorpe Street, Leamington Spa. CV31 2AU.
