OS Events Not Held at Stowe

The Old Stoic Society holds events in a wide variety of locations around the country and abroad. Where possible, we always aim to choose a fully accessible venue for our events.

Please email oldstoic@stowe.co.uk or complete the booking form where indicated to share your access requirements.

If our venue is not accessible and you wish to attend, please do let us know and we will endeavour to find a way to make it happen – be it by moving the event or liaising with the venue on your behalf to make your entry to the site go smoothly.
