Lecture 11 March 2026 Never Mind Quantitative Easing, Show Us The Bling: A Peep At The Bank Of England's Artworks

If the mention of “quantitative easing” still sends shivers down your spine with its association to an economic crisis, worry not! In this fascinating lecture, Tim Kidd guided his audience of the Arts Society Horsham on a secret tour of the Bank of England, in which we learnt about the founding of the Bank, the architecture and design of the building, the symbolisms of the art works and many aspects of the social and political history of this famous institution.

THE BIBLIOPHILES OF BOWDON

During the winter months a small group of Bibliophile volunteers from the Bowdon Arts Society meet on Thursday mornings to work in the important book collection at Tabley House. This varied and exciting collection, built up by successive generations of the Leicester family, contains works in a variety of languages including Latin, Greek, French as well as English, many of which date from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. There are nearly four thousand books here, many leather bound and some in a fragile state having been originally kept in the earlier house on an Island.

Community Grant Donation

On Monday 9 February, Sandra Steeves & Elizabeth Harding, co-chairs of The Arts Society Royal Tunbridge Wells, were delighted to present a cheque for £250 to the children’s charity Demelza.  This was made possible by our successful application for a Community Grant from The Arts Society Head Office.

Katie Hook, Demelza’s Area Fundraising Manager, kindly attended our lecture at The Trinity Theatre and accepted the cheque.  She spoke movingly about the work at Demelza and we hope that this small donation will help towards providing art therapy for the children in their care.

THE ARTS SOCIETY MACCLESFIELD IN ACTION AT EAST CHESHIRE HOSPICE

The ‘Patients Supporting Patients’ project, led by The Arts Society Macclesfield, is making a real and lasting difference to East Cheshire Hospice, raising valuable funds while celebrating the creativity of its patients.

At the heart of the initiative are beautiful coasters featuring delicate watercolour paintings created by patients attending the Hospice’s Sunflower Centre. Each design reflects not only artistic talent but also the therapeutic value of creative expression.
