About Us

The Basingstoke Archaeological and Historical Society (BAHS) was founded in 1971 to support learning and research into local archaeology and history. Over the years the society has carried out or supported excavations in the Basingstoke area; published local history books; and run visits and tours to places of interest.

The society meets on the first Monday of the month from September through to June for a lecture meeting featuring either an archaeological or historical subject.

Our Next Meeting

Our next lecture meeting will be on Monday 1st December 2025 when Maureen Stiller of the Jane Austen Society will help us celebrate the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth with a talk that will have something new for everyone.
