In the winter months we offer monthly online lectures, via Zoom, which are exclusive to CBG members. Our speakers are experts in their field, and topics range from specific talks on Cornish buildings to wider heritage themes, such as Cornish distinctiveness. We occasionally have lectures on wider subjects which include a focus outside of the county.
The talks are recorded and made available to all CBG members after the event.
