Click the Lectures tab above to see details of our current lecture programme.

Throughout the year we organise cultural visits, study meetings, tours and social events.  A part of our role in Beckenham is to encourage an interest in the decorative and fine arts, and we contribute to arts projects in our local schools via our Young Arts projects.  We are also actively involved in Heritage conservation, and offer opportunities to volunteer in a wide range of London museums and galleries.
