Visit to Antiquaries & Supper

Tuesday 2nd September 2025

Start: 6pm | Finish: 10pm approx.

The Society of Antiquaries is the centre of antiquarian learning, discovery and community. As a Royal learned society, our Fellows have been inspiring scholarship, debate and research for over 300 years.  Their museum is one of the oldest in the world, and their collections of antiquities, paintings, prints and manuscripts provide a resource for researchers around the world. The Society also loans its main fine paintings and objects to other museums and galleries around the world.

At the time of our visit alongside all that is usually on offer to see, the Society will be show casing the 1225 Magna Carta in this its 800th Anniversary year, signed by John’s son, John having had the original 1215 version annulled by the Pope and it is the 1225 version that went into English law.

We will have a tutored guided tour for about and hour and then enjoy some wine and nibbles whilst still being able to explore the Society’s collections.  We will then move on for a supper at a nearby Brasserie and anticipate the evening concluding no later than 10pm.    

NB places are limited for this event and it may go to ballot.
