I regularly attend lectures/talks at the Lancashire Infantry Museum in Preston. I would strongly recommend them. There is a series of Saturday talks which are not necessarily military themed. The Friends of Lancashire Infantry Museum also do lectures on a Friday evening and these are military themed. I recommend both. The Museum itself is also worth a visit and is free to attend and their is usually a guide on hand to take you round or answer any questions you may have. It has been described as "Preston's hidden treasure". I would agree with that sentiment. Update Friday 10th March 2023: I visited Preston Fulwood Barracks for an evening of talks at Preston Fulwood Barracks on Friday 10th March 2023. The Lancashire Infantry Museum is contained within the barracks building at Preston Fulwood Barracks at which the talks were held. The first talk was by an officer in the Duke of Lancaster Regiment and was an update on the Regiment's current activities and review of the British Army today. The other talk was by an officer from the Land Warfare Centre in the United Kingdom on the role of the 55th (West Lancashire) Division in the 3rd Battle of Ypres, better known as Passchendaele 1917. Both talks were well presented and interesting. There is plenty of parking at Preston Fulwood Barracks. The Friends of Lancashire Infantry Museum events are interesting and informative. The next event is on Friday 28th April 2023. The talk is on the Iraq war. I shall be attending that event. I would recommend a visit to the Lancashire Infantry Museum and also attending the talks held at the Lancashire Infantry Museum in Fulwood Preston.
