The Arts Society Conference and AGM 2023 Update

We are only 80 days away from The Arts Society Conference and AGM on 24th May 2023 in Bristol. 

Details of the Conference and AGM can be found on our dedicated webpage: https://theartssociety.org/bristol2023

This also includes fantastic information on the ‘Best of Bristol’ - places to visit and sites to see in and around Bristol.  We thank The Arts Society Bristol, and in particular Kate Floyd, for collating this and hope it adds to the enjoyment of your visit to Bristol.

Keep an eye out for information on some exclusive tours and visits which we hope to circulate shortly.
