Welcome to TASE, The Arts Society Eastbourne!  

Our lecture season runs from September to May.  Dr Matthew Denney will kick off our 2025/26 season on 16 September with a talk on the 1951 Festival of Britain and its impact: details of this, and all our upcoming lectures, are in the Events section below. 

Following our highly successful day trip to Watts Gallery and Artists' Village in April, our next trip will be to Strawberry Hill House and Gardens and Turner's House on 22 October 2025. Details, including the price and how to book, are given in the News and Events sections below.

For those who enjoyed our June Study Day at the Hydro Hotel (and for those who missed it!), we're also returning to the Hydro for our Winter Study Day in November: once again, details are given in the News and Events sections below.

 

We operate an annual membership, open to all, which gives members access to nine monthly lectures, our regular newsletter and the quarterly Arts Society magazine.  We welcome all new members! Please contact Maggie on tasememsec@yahoo.com if you would like to join.

We also welcome visitors although, due to space constraints in the hall, we must limit the number of visitors at our monthly lectures. Priority will also be given to members for other space-limited events such as study days and trips.  Therefore prebooking for non-members is essential - please contact Maggie on tasememsec@yahoo.com. Please note that we charge visitors £10 per monthly lecture (which includes a cup of tea/coffee and cake, as well as the lecture itself!). 

We always welcome feedback on the lectures and suggestions regarding future topics. 

We also welcome help with running our Society! If you are a member and could help with maintaining the website or the Facebook page, with researching Arts Volunteering programmes, with 'meeting and greeting' members on lecture days, or  handling our liaison with East Dean Hall, we would love to hear from you! Please contact Chris, our Chair, on christopherdyetase@gmail.com
