Welcome to The Arts Society Henfield. Scroll down for further information.

The Arts Society Henfield was founded in 1969 as Adur Valley Fine Arts Society. Our monthly lectures are held at The Henfield Hall. Unless otherwise posted, commencement is at 2.30 p.m. sharp.

You may email us at henfield@theartssociety.org with your thoughts and suggestions.

"Bring a Friend." We would like to encourage members to bring along a friend or two or more. The cost for the friend(s), who would enter as a guest, will be £10 for the lecture. However, if the friend(s) decide to join the society there and then, there would be no guest entry charge, and a deduction from the annual subscription, reducing it to £40. There can be a maximum of 3 visits on this basis.

Memership subscriptions are due, still fixed at £50 per person. 

After a lovely and scrumptious Christmas lunch and an outrageously entertaining final lecture, our 2024 programme has been completed. A very merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year to all our members. We re-assemble on the 13th January 2025 for a lecture on Caravaggio.
