Public Talks
Public talks and lectures are delivered on a range of material culture and social history topics. My talks are designed to spark curiosity, and often explore more unusual subject matter. Recent talks have included 'The Georgians & Victorians: Sex and Scandal', 'Corsetry and the Intimate History of Undergarments', 'Beyond the Veil: Spiritualism and Séances', and 'A Haunting in Shropshire: Ghost Stories and Legends of the County'.

Guided Tours
Guided tours are written to bring historic spaces to life. Informed by research and tailored to different audiences, my tours balance structure with flexibility, creating engaging experiences that connect visitors more closely with the people, objects, and environments they are exploring.

Events & Programmes
Events and public programmes are developed and delivered to create opportunities for audiences to engage with museums and heritage sites in different ways. From themed talks to hands-on object study sessions, my work focuses on combining research with creative formats to produce experiences that are both informative and memorable.

Community Engagement
Work with volunteers, community groups, and other museum stakeholders supports knowledge sharing, access, and meaningful involvement with collections and heritage. I engage with a wide range of audiences to ensure interpretation is inclusive, relevant, and reflective of diverse perspectives.
