Royal Oak’s educational programs are a vital part of the Foundation’s ongoing mission to deepen appreciation of Anglo-American heritage, introduce Americans to the portfolio of the National Trust of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and raise funds for their important preservation initiatives.
Since the series began in 1974, Royal Oak has planned and presented well over 1220 lectures by over 288 speakers in 67 different U.S. cities. Our lectures cover a diverse range of topics including British art and architecture; country houses and castles; history and literature; as well as landscape and design.
The Royal Oak Foundation is delighted to offer many of our programs and lectures using an interactive digital platform. Our digital lectures allow Royal Oak to engage public audiences in all 50 states, and to present online “armchair” tours of locations in London and the UK. Some of our digital programs are FREE to Royal Oak members. We also continue to present live, in-person lectures in various U.S. cities to further encourage support for the National Trust.
