We’re delighted to be offering a day trip with tours around Strawberry Hill House & Garden, Twickenham and nearby Turner’s House on Wednesday October 22nd, following this trip’s clear win in the recent visits survey. £73 including coach and lunch. Book soon - numbers are limited.
For full details, please see the Events section of the website.
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. For an annual subscription of £52 for the 2025/26 season, that is less than £6 per lecture.
We welcome all new members!
Due to space constraints at East Dean Village Hall, where we hold our regular monthly lectures, we must limit member numbers. When we reach our member limit, we run a waiting list which operates on a strict first-come, first-served basis.
The heat outside was turning up on this July day but inside the dimmed lighting and coolness of the auditorium at the Brighton Road Baptist Church, members of the Horsham Arts Society were chilling to the welcoming double bass played by our July lecturer Sandy Burnett.
We had a beautiful sunny afternoon for our self-drive visit to Chavenage in June. This family home, a Grace 1 listed building, can be found close to Tetbury, off the beaten track, with a view to the Marlborough Downs which is completely pylon and building free - the same view as 500 years ago!
Our hosts greeted us warmly and we received a knowledgeable and very amusing talk on the history of the house and family before we were guided around the rooms - the anecdotes flowed throughout!

The success of 2024 allowed us to think about how we could maximize and extend our reach nationally. The Arts Society became a national partner with Art Bytes and encouraged societies to support Art Bytes in their local schools and use their Community Grant to pay for the registration.
