Our first talk of 2025 is on Thursday February 20th and is a dramatised story told by Simon Waterfield about war and remembrance, centred round a fourteenth century archer and his experiences in France at the Battle of Agincourt. The tale covers the archer’s journey to join the army; along the way he meets Chaucer and the pilgrims on the way to Canterbury.

Spoken and acted in a way to include the audience in his reminiscence, the archer tells of his experiences at war at Agincourt, how they affected him and his family on his return and his reflections on the meaning of war and remembrance.

The talk includes historical anecdotes and reproduction historical artefacts which are used as part of the drama to bring history and the archer’s story to life. Humour and emotion are strong elements of the tale, as is some assistance from Shakespeare.

We'll be open at the Charter Hall from 6:45 pm and the talk begins at 7:30 pm. We hope to see you there.
