SPAB Scotland Social Drinks

Tuesday 10 February 2026
7 for 7.30pm - Casual arrival

Are you a SPAB Member, or thinking about becoming one? Do you love old buildings? Would you like an informal chat about heritage and building conservation?

Come and join us! We’d love to meet up with anyone who has an interest in old buildings, to hear your story and help you connect with others in the sector.

This will be a very informal evening with no set agenda – we will just let the conversation flow. Look out for John Robson, SPAB Guardian and Lucy Stewart, SPAB Scotland Officer.

If you’d like to reserve a seat, please complete the booking form so that we can reserve suitable space in the bar area.
