Our monthly meetings feature talks from speakers who have researched a range of historical topics. We also hold a weekly History Café offering shorter, less formal presentations in a social atmosphere. Our Guild of Guides lead a variety of Free Town Walks, sponsored by the Royal Leamington Spa Town Council.

This website contains a large collection of research articles, and we welcome further contributions. We have produced a series of local history books and, working with Mark Ellis, a local film maker, we have produced six films which tell the story of Royal Leamington Spa from the origins of the Spa town to the present day.

We have a large Digital Archive of historic images of Leamington and surrounding areas which you can explore. This is an ongoing project with further images still being added.

We actively develop partnerships with local community organisations and schools to promote local history and have participated in a range of local and national projects.

Membership of Leamington History Group cost £15 per year and details of how to join are available here.
