- **Event Name**: A to Z of Words You Will Never Hear Again
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 08 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Wed, 08 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us for an evening of wonderful words with guest speaker Anthony Poulton-Smith.

With over a million words in the full version of the Oxford English Dictionary and more being added all the time, you would think there are many we never use or ever even hear. You would be right but I wonder if you know how right? Of those million words the average person uses perhaps 20,000 when writing and only about 5,000 in everyday speech. So what happened to the others? Well here are a selection and these are not even among the more obscure!

Tickets cost £12 per person. Pre-booking is essential, spaces are limited. Tickets can be booked in person in our Bookshop, or by calling us on 01543 264972. Tickets can also be purchased online via our Eventbrite page.

Tickets are non-refundable. As we’re a small team, latecomers may not be admitted.

Please note – this event is not suitable for children under the age of 14. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

The event will be held on the first floor of the museum, accessible only by stairs. Due to the building’s Grade I listed status, we are unable to install a lift or ramp, widen doorways, or modify the handrails. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
