Lecture Programme
The lectures covercover a wide range of topics. They aim to inform, enlighten and entertain the members across the decorative and fine arts spectrum. In 2008, the programme included talks on such diverse subjects as Photography as Fine Art, Irish Art in Dublin, Ancient Egyptian Sculpture and a refreshing behind the scenes look at a Hampton Court Palace we thought we knew!
Meetings begin at 2.00 pm on Thursdays.
Provided that seating is available, visitors are welcome.
Visitors' fee is £5.00 subject to a maximum of two visits annually.
The hall is equipped with a hearing aid induction loop.
