The Treasure House in Beverley will host a fascinating talk on Thursday 15 June at 6.30pm, when guest speaker Paul Brunyee will explore the links between Beverley and the Battle of Waterloo.

Libraries, archives and museums manager, Kevin Hadfield says visitors figures to the amazing Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition were stunning.
His comments come after it was revealed that a staggering 74,425 people visited the Treasure House in Beverley to enjoy this unique opportunity.
