The Arts Society Wensum

 

Welcome to the Arts Society Wensum.

Our Society normally holds nine monthly lectures (September-November; January- June) and a Christmas lecture. The lectures are held at the Assembly House in the centre of Norwich, which is easily accessible by bus.  There are also ample car parks nearby.  Coffee is available before the start of the lecture.

We also arrange Special Interest Days and day visits to places of interest.  Each autumn we organise a 3-4 day visit to another UK destination. Our visit for 2023 was to Kent (see report uner News below), and in October 2024 we are going to Glyndebourne, and other places of interest in the area.

We also support young arts locally and have recently completed our programme of events for the forthcoming year (see the Events links below).

We do still have room for a few additional members.  If you are interested please contact our Membership Secretary (details given below).
