About Epping Forest Talks
‘Epping Forest Talks’ is a series of talk programmes that we are hosting throughout the year to celebrate Epping Forest’s heritage, culture, and environmental importance. We aim to host each talk in different venues in and around the Forest, to celebrate the diverse landscape and rich history of this wonderful ancient Forest.
Thanks to all those people who contributed to the Ken Hoy Memorial Fund. Ken Hoy was a previous Chair of the Epping Forest Heritage Trust, long-term Head of Suntrap, now known as The Hive, and author of Getting to know Epping Forest. The fund established in his name was set up to support lectures such as this.
