For many years, we have been privileged to gather in Bangor to share our thoughts and ideas, and to enjoy the fellowship that is the Restoration Conference. Huge thanks to Tony Claydon, Tom Corns, and the Bangor team for keeping flag flying so brilliantly for as long as they have. This year, the Restoration Conference will be held at the University of Warwick from 28th to 30th July 2026. The theme of the conference will be “Fashioning, Forging and Faking Identities, 1658-1714”. Further details are shown on the Call For Papers page of this website.
