ABOUT THE SOCIETY
"Founded in 1968, we are very proud to be the seventh oldest Society within The Arts Society, one of now 360 local Societies in the UK and abroad"
"We arrange a wide selection of lectures and more in-depth discovery days, plus special events, one-day UK excursions by coach and escorted UK and overseas tours"
"Our volunteer programmes include Young Arts, Heritage Volunteering and Church Recording"
The Arts Society Moor Park is a friendly and enthusiastic society, which meets to enjoy talks on a great variety of subjects within the spectrum of decorative and fine arts, given by lecturers who are specialists in their field. We encourage members to arrive at least half an hour before meetings to enjoy complimentary refreshments, sign up for outings and upcoming lectures, chat with friends and make new friends.
Our vibrant, action packed programme includes a morning lecture at Winston Churchill Hall, Ruislip, usually on the third Wednesday of the month, discovery days and special events at Moor Park Mansion, Rickmansworth, and three or four day-trips a year by coach to places of historic or artistic interest.
Four times a year we arrange a Discovery Day at Moor Park Mansion to look at a topic in greater depth and each year we have a five day UK trip. In addition, every two years we arrange a five day trip abroad.
When it is practical to do so we broadcast morning lectures live online using Zoom.
We have a thriving volunteer programme encompassing Young Arts, Heritage Volunteers and Church Recorders, which we encourage members to join if they can spare a few hours a month – no specialist knowledge needed.
Interested in joining us? You are most welcome to come to a ‘taster’ meeting. Our President is always near the registration desk, ready to show you around and introduce you to people.
