Bringing Egyptology to Cheshire for 30 years
We are a group based in the north-west of England, who meet monthly to hear lectures about Ancient Egypt
We meet on the fourth Friday of the month at Poynton Civic Hall (off Park Lane), Poynton, Cheshire. The meetings begin at 8.00 pm, and the doors are open from 7.30 pm onwards. Here you can meet and chat with other members before the meeting begins in an informal setting.
Our schedule runs from September to June with no meetings in December, July or August.
We arrange a dynamic and interesting set of talks each month often with well known speakers. However, we also like to listen to budding Egyptologists. Our talks are informative and inspiring, delivered in a relaxed setting.
We would be pleased to see anyone at our meetings, as they are set up to appeal to those new to the subject and those who have had a keen interest for years.
Our next talk is on Friday 25th October 2024
Dr Loretta Kilroe
The title is “Giants of the Sands: Giraffe symbolism in the Kingdom of Kush” (ancient Sudan and ancient Egypt)
We provide the usual refreshments

Here are a few samples from their collection. Can you spot what they are and where they were taken?
