What we offer

Your membership will give you:

  • a programme of 10 lectures during the year (our year runs September through to July). Our lecturers are all accredited by the national Arts Society.  They talk about their favourite subjects, whether it’s about paintings, gardens, music, theatre, architecture.....it’s a great opportunity to broaden your horizons through informative and entertaining speakers.
  • day trips and overnight stays to visit places of interest, organised by our committee
  • a free copy of the quarterly Arts Society magazine, posted to your address.  Colourful and informative, the magazine has interesting articles and lets you know what’s on in terms of exhibitions, study days and holidays, and discounts available
  • access to The Arts Society Connected: a range of video presentations and articles through  the Arts Society website
  • an opportunity to socialise and meet other like-minded people prior to our lectures,  with refreshments and regular book sales
  • a monthly newsletter emailed to you from the committee to keep you in touch with what we have on offer as well as other local opportunities.
