Event details

About the location
Not only is the Lacock Abbey, a National Trust property, rich in its 800 year history, and splendid architecture, it was also the residence of William Henry Fox Talbot, who created the first photographic negative. On the ground floor, there is a museum illustrating the birthplace of photography and upstairs there is and exhibition relevant to photography. The wooded grounds of the Abbey include a botanic garden, a greenhouse, orchard and rose garden. Also Lacock village is stunning with its timber framed and stone cottages and is worth seeing.
About the trip
As in previous years the day will start with a picnic at lunch time and in the evening there will be an evening meal at a nearby hotel. For overnight accommodation to Sunday 12 June the group can hopefully stay at the same hotel, and during the day, there will be excursions around the Chippenham area, yet to be arranged.
This event is a week before the EUC holiday to Northern Spain and before the schools break up for their summer holidays in order to avoid the peak visiting period to Lacock and the surrounding area.
