- **Event Name**: Ignorance & Influence: Irish in Keighley
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 08 Jul, 2026 at 07:15 pm – Wed, 08 Jul, 2026 at 08:45 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: July's History Society meeting is on Wednesday 8th July 2026. It will include a talk from well known speaker and historical character performer Irene Lofthouse.  In this talk, Irene will explore Irish migration during the 17th-19th century to identify the effect of it on the town, that had a large Irish population in the mid 19th century. Who came, how, and why? What did they do when they arrived? Where did they live? How did the local population (who were themselves a mixture of migrants to the area) react and treat this new influx? What’s been the legacy of the Irish in Keighley and their influence today?

The meeting will take place upstairs in the Civic Centre, on North Street. Doors open at 7.15pm and the meeting will start just before 7.30pm. Entry is free to History Society members, or £3.50 for anyone else who wants to just come along (booking is not required). Members can also choose to join the meeting via Zoom if they wish.

You can take out membership of the History Society at any of our meetings in the Civic Centre. Membership for the rest of 2026 costs £15 (or £20 for two people at the same address). Please pay in cash on the night. As well as free entry to our monthly meetings, membership also gets you invited to members-only events and you will receive the quarterly newsletter via email.
