About Us
Lectures are held at the Westwoods Centre, Northleach, Gloucestershire and commence at 11.00 a.m. and last for one hour. Members are invited to come for coffee from 10.15 a.m.
Lectures are normally held on the second Thursday of the month (except during July, August and December) but check the programme dates 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
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.
Visits & Days of Special Interest (DSI)
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 both in the UK and abroad for three or 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, London exhibitions and any other items of special interest can be found on the relevant pages of the website.
In the event of severe weather conditions, please check the website or telephone a committee member for updated information.
