For detailed information about our society please go to our own website. theartssocietygloucestershire.org.uk. Here you will find out about our programme for the year with detailed information on individual lectures and activities. 

Below is a synopsis of the activities carried out by our Society. 

Lectures are held at the Westwoods Centre, Northleach, Gloucestershire and commence at 11.00 a.m. Members are invited to come for coffee from 10.15 a.m. They are normally held on the second Thursday of the month (except during July, August and December but check calendar) and they cover a wide range of historical and arts-related subjects including architecture, music, ballet, gardens, literature, the lives and work of famous artists, jewellery, cultures and civilisations etc. 

The talks are given by experienced and highly qualified lecturers who are experts in their chosen field, drawn from a directory maintained by The Arts Society Head office. They are for members only but guests may attend at the invitation of a member and prior arrangement with our Membership Secretary for a small charge. 

In addition to our monthly meetings, we also organise visits to museums, country houses and gardens and places of historic and artistic interest as well as trips to London art galleries and exhibitions. We usually arrange at least one tour annually to visit places of interest both in the UK and abroad for three to four days. 

Twice a year we organise a Day of Special Interest when subjects can be explored in greater depth, often with the possibility of looking at members’ own artefacts. 

Details of our lectures, visits, days of special interest, outings, tours, visits to London exhibitions and any items of special interest can be found on the relevant pages of the website.
Please contact the Membership Secretary via email for any further information.
