Heritage Open Days (HOD) is England’s largest festival of history and culture and runs for ten days every year. This year the dates are Friday 12th to Sunday 21st September and, as always, there will be free access to heritage events and activities across England. The national theme this year is 'architecture' and could have been chosen especially for our town!
There is so much of architectural interest in Ramsgate and we are dighted to have Clive Aslet to be our guide to some of the more unusual, or simply just forgotten, gems in our town.
Clive Aslet will be familiar to many of you as President and past speaker at previous events of the the Ramsgate Society. He is also a writer on British architecture and life, a Visiting Professor of Architecture at the University of Cambridge and publisher of Triglyph Books. For 13 years he was the Editor of Country Life magazine and currently co-hoasts the podcast 'Your Places or Mine' with John Goodall, the current architectural editor of Country Life.
Clive was educated at King's College School in Wimbledon and Peterhouse, Cambridge, where he earned a degree in the history of architecture.He has regularly broadcast on radio and television current affairs programmes including Newsnight. He is also Chairman of The Lutyens Society.
The talk will take place at the Royal Temple Yacht Club and, in keeping with the HOD ethos, will be free of charge - but we do still need you to book so that we can control the numbers.
Doors will open at 6:30pm and the talk, including Q&A will run from 7pm till 8pm
