Our Society brings people together through a shared curiosity for the arts. Our events provide welcoming places to hear expert lecturers share their specialist knowledge about the arts. Our members contribute to and preserve our artistic heritage through volunteering and grants. Our work creates a better, healthier and more connected society.

We are a friendly and enthusiastic society that meets regularly to enjoy Lectures given by some of the country’s top experts, and offers Days of Special Interest, Educational Visits and Cultural Holidays. 

Please scroll down to view coming EVENTS in detail. Visitors are most welcome to individual events or to join and enjoy our entire programme. 

Joining us is a great way to learn, have fun and make new and lasting friendships. More about us and our activities? Scroll down for our planned events and news.
