A recurring series of talks on paintings and First World War poetry runs on selected dates at Sandham Memorial Chapel in Reading. Visitors join for a short talk exploring one painting in depth, led by an experienced Chapel guide. Admission is required.
Once a month, visitors are invited to join us for a special short talk exploring one individual painting in depth, led by one of our experienced Chapel Stewards.
