A talk on a major Himalayan peak is being held at a city museum next week.

It will be held at the Gurkha Museum in Peninsula Barracks, off Romsey Road, at 11am on Friday, April 16, to raise funds for the attraction.

Tickets are £30 and include a curry lunch – call 01962 842832 or email curator@thegurkhamuseum.co.uk
