TALK: Patron's Lecture - At Your Convenience: Torquay's Lav Affair with the Public Toilet

calendar24th Feb 2026, 10:45 am

Torquay Museum Society Lecture by Kevin Dixon

We all use them, but we often don’t talk about them! And when we do talk about them, we call them by many different names. What did we do before they were invented, and how did the private and public toilet evolve? At your convenience, do join us at a light-hearted illustrated talk about the history of toilets in Torbay.

Lectures are free of charge to Torquay Museum Society Members but the general public are also welcome to attend - £5 per ticket, payable on the door.
