Boxted is lucky to have several social groups and activities taking place at the village hall, one of which is the monthly history group where speakers come and share some insider knowledge on their chosen subject. Already this year we’ve learned about the importance of Colchester’s Roman Circus the history of the cockney language and the Life and Times of Essex highwaymen. The sessions are friendly and welcoming and for £15 a year represent great value and make a pleasant evening out doing something a little bit different. The evenings are very relaxed with no requirement to participate other than maybe ask question if you feel you wish to at the end of the talks or maybe have a chat with other villages over a cup of tea at the end. So come and join us and hear about something new – or rather something old!

Meetings take place at Boxted Village Hall from 7.30pm on the dates below along with some planned trips for those interested which will be 19 June to Bawdsey Radar and 20th August for the Electric Palace at Harwich.
