Our Society brings people together through a shared curiosity for the arts.   

Our events (in person and on-line) provide welcoming places to make new friends and hear expert speakers share their specialist knowledge about all forms of the arts, using illustrative talks.

Our members can contribute to and preserve our artistic heritage through volunteering and grants.  Our work includes sponsoring and supporting "arts for all projects" in our communities.

Our shared love of the arts provides enjoyment and is good for personal well-being.

Everyone is welcome to join as a member. Our new season of lecturers start in September, and full year membership is £72 and is available now. 

You are welcome to come along as a visitor for £12 to experience for yourself what's on offer.  As well as lecturers, members have access to special events and outings, receive an award winning Arts Magazine three times a year, monthly newsletters of what's on, commentary from experts on the arts, member discounts and membership to the National Arts Society.  No prior knowledge of the arts is necessary.

New members and visitors are always welcome at our lectures.
