Latest News and Upcoming Events

Millfield Orchard on Aldreth Road has been the focus of village apple growing for the last few hundred years, but underneath its top soil lies the evidence of Iron Age and Roman enclosures, including a whole flock of sheep, revealed through archaeological excavation.

 

Christiane Meckseper of Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd. will be giving a talk on the fascinating history beneath our feet. Please join us on Thursday 17th November at 7.30pm, The Arkenstall Centre - tickets for members are free, and available to non-members for a small charge of £3.00 per ticket.

 

Book Club

Our friendly Book Club meets on the third Tuesday of the month in the Library at 3.30pm. We welcome anyone who enjoys reading and likes
talking about books. We don't do 'lit crit' but we discuss why we like/didn't like the book choice. We exchange tips on recent reads that we think others might enjoy, and then wander on to a wide range of subjects. You don't have to buy the books – we take turns to choose a book from a Cambridgeshire Libraries multi-copy list. If you are interested in joining us, send a request to Sally via info@haddenhamlibrarycambs.co.uk or give your contact details to a Library Volunteer.

 

Upcoming read:

Our next book is Nicola Upson's 1930s Cambridge-set 'Nine Lessons' which is the 7th in her series of mysteries featuring real-life crime writer Josephine Tey (1896–1952). All are welcome, and we will provide a copy of the book.  We will be meeting in the library to discuss it on Tuesday 17th March at 3.30pm. 

 

To join us, speak to a Library volunteer, or drop a line to info@haddenhamlibrarycambs.co.uk.
