2025-26 Programme

***** We RETURN 6 January 2026 *****

6 January: DAWN SEXTON (AKA SUNRISE) - SKY STUFF

"My love of the sky stems back from my childhood days, living on an RAF base and constantly looking up at aircraft and seeing my Dad fly. My photos will include aircraft, birds, cloud formations, sunsets, interesting phenomena, such as rainbows, lightning, sundogs, etc. Plus a bit of astrophotography, including the moon and planets.

The sky is all around us and you don't even need to travel far to see the delights it can bring."

13 January: James Kerwin - Lebanon; a paradise lost, ZOOM PRESENTATION

James will take you through his years photographing Lebanon’s hidden heritage – theatres, mansions, coastal towns, villages, and blue-hour city scenes. You’ll see how James works with light, access, and timing to photograph spaces with character, from Beirut’s grand apartments to quiet mountain sites. James will share the story behind his long connection with the country, his work with Henry, and how he approaches research, shooting, and safety on the ground.
