Events

New awards will join our exisiting ones in a celebration of old buildings and the people who champion them.

While the country is in lockdown, we continue to protect old buildings. We're responding to threats to some of our greatest buildings. We will continue to share our knowledge, and support our community of craftspeople and experts. Despite the fact that so many organisations and individuals have been badly affected by the recent crisis we have seen little reduction in the flow of casework.

Our annual celebration of milling heritage has been cancelled.

Matthew Slocombe, SPAB director is a practical person at heart, and that's why he's so excited about the Old House Project at an 'at risk' building in Kent.

National Mills Weekend is an annual celebration of milling heritage organised by the Mills Section, when mills across the country are open to view.

Showcasing the best in practical conservation, the two days (7-8 September) attracted building professionals, homeowners, enthusiasts and those interested in developing a career in the heritage sector.

Broadcaster and heritage champion Loyd Grossman is to be the keynote speaker at the SPAB's first exhibition, The Old House Show, presented in partnership with Period Living.

"When the opportunity to demonstrate stained glass conservation at the Old House Show arose, I was delighted to take part. SPAB events have always been very positive experiences for me."

With two months until its first major exhibition, The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) has announced its full speaker line up for The Old House Show.

Taking place at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich over two days, Friday 7 to Saturday 8 September, The Old House Show is for homeowners, professionals, building enthusiasts and craft lovers – and is absolutely free.   

The SPAB has received a confirmed National Lottery Grant of £99,400 for the ‘We Love Eastbury: 100 Years of Protection and Preservation’ project. This project is in partnership with London Borough of Barking and Dagenham’s Heritage Services.
