Buckinghamshire, England

Share:

Amersham sits pretty in Buckinghamshire with a village square that feels like it was designed for gossip and good food. There are always theatre nights on offer and the occasional market stall to browse when the weather permits. Local sports clubs host their regular fixtures and community halls run workshops that keep hands busy all afternoon. We make sure you find the right gig or gathering without needing to scroll through a dozen other sites.

An evening with Robert Hardman

An evening with Robert Hardman

Bestselling biographer and royal commentator Robert Hardman has had unique access to the world of Elizabeth II – including family, staff, advisors and even the last state visitor of her record-breaking reign, President Donald Trump himself – to produce this intimate, authoritative, richly entertaining new portrait of the late Queen in her centenary year. As daughter, wife, mother and Sovereign, Elizabeth II lived fascinating parallel lives, both in private and in public. But she remained something of a mystery – beloved, even revered, modest yet daunting, naturally shy but globally recognizable, inscrutable and also authentic. She was grand but so familiar that we felt we knew her. Yet we would always be left asking the same question: ‘What’s she really like?’ No one has written more authoritatively on Elizabeth II than Robert Hardman. Who better to answer that question? The only biographer to have interviewed all the senior members of the Royal Family, some of them several times, Hardman has crafted a gripping story of drama, devotion, triumph, tragedy, humour and conflict; of an outwardly stoical, inwardly complex woman whose love of family, love of country and duty to the Crown might pull her in different directions but never derailed her; a global stateswoman who wielded her great authority with charm and understatement.

Explore the Rose Family

Explore the Rose Family

Workshop 1: ‘Plant Families, and Vegetative Features of Rosaceae’ In partnership with Wild Amersham, this series of workshops for adults offers an introduction to the concept of a ‘Plant Family’, by exploring the Rose family, Rosaceae. This is not a family exclusively of roses – it is also home to a diverse array of other plants. These include many of our domestic fruits (Cherries, Strawberries, Apples, Raspberries), as well as garden plants (Potentilla, Spiraea, Alchemilla) and wildflowers (Wood Avens, Agrimony and Tormentil). Under the guidance of local botanist Karen van Oostrum, you will discover why such diverse species are included within the same family. Karen will take you through the key features of plants in Rosaceae, giving you the opportunity to look carefully at the structures of leaves, flowers and fruits from a range of species. In Workshop 1, we will begin with an introduction to the concept of a plant family. Karen will explain what a plant family is, how it relates to classification and taxonomy, and why it is useful. Participants will then explore the vegetative features (leaves and stems) of species within Rosaceae. Along the way, Karen will introduce a few botanical terms to help describe these features.
