SLS Annual conference 2025
Peak District conference postponed to 2026
Due to unforeseen issues we have had to cancel this year’s conference in the Peak District which will now be held on the weekend of the 19-20th of September 2026 and based at Hartington.
Saturday shall be devoted to talks on the Peak District, and will provide a valuable opportunity to share the results and questions arising from the forthcoming Peak District Research Framework project and to learn about a muti-disciplinary project which has investigated in detail the development of a nearby landscape in Dovedale.
We shall be again based at Hartington and shall be guided around key sites in Dovedale on Sunday, looking a rich range of sites in a spectacular landscape.
Further details shall follow in the autumn.
