I give talks to community groups, and to corporate / institutional organisations. Whether you are a local group / society or a library looking for an engaging talk for a general audience, an educational establishment wishing to introduce your students to architecture, local history or heritage, or a  practice of built environment professionals seeking new themes for CPD, I can provide a ready-made or tailored talk to meet your needs.

I also lead walking tours for groups of up to 15 people.
