Welcome to the Arts Society North Staffordshire Website.

Bringing people together through a shared curiosity for the Arts.

Established in 1986, the  Society is the leading Arts Society in the area and offers its members a stimulating programme of lectures embracing the whole spectrum of the Fine and Decorative Arts. The lectures are presented by expert speakers, many of whom are well known through their work on television and radio.

Lectures are held on the second Thursday of the month in the Wade Conference Centre, Hartshill Rd, Hartshill, S-o-t, Staffs, ST4 7NY.  Tele: 01782 714888, or google: info@wadeconferencecentre.co.uk  

Members are asked to be seated 10 minutes before the lecture starts.

Members  should arrive 15 minutes before the lecture, go up to the first floor- adjacent to the auditorium (there is a lift on the ground floor), in order to register--this is a Health & Safety Requirement of the Wade Conference Centre in case a evacuation is necessary.

The Society also offers a number of social events including day visits to places of interest, a matinee performance at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford, an annual five day cultural holiday and a Christmas lunch. These events are charged at cost.

All our social events are popular, so if you interested please book early to avoid disappointment.

If you have an interest in any aspect of the Arts then this is the Society for you.

Members are encouraged to participate in the work of the Heritage Volunteers (past projects include the Wedgwood and Spode Archives). 

We are an independent Society affiliated to The Arts Society, previously known as the National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Societies (NADFAS).

The Arts Society North Staffordshire cannot be held responsible for any personal accident, loss, damage or theft of Members' personal property.

At present there are vacancies for new members. 

We always welcome expressions of interest to join our active Management Committee.
