  • Residents’ Memories of Histon and Impington

    Histon and Impington Village Society is holding a talk on Tuesday 28th March from 7.30pm at Histon Methodist Church.

    There will be a panel of four local guest speakers who will give an insight into their memories of growing up and working in Histon and Impington. This will be followed by a fun and relaxed Question & Answer session where we hope audience members will share their own memories or ask questions of those who lived here when the villages were much smaller.

    Tickets are free for members, and £4 for non-members (either in-person or on Zoom). Please book your place via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/…/residents-memories-of…
