Group Programmes

Arts, Crafts & Music Group
Originally “The Ceramics and Decorative Arts Group”, we have speakers who show slides and often demonstrate crafts or illustrate talks with music.

Gardening Group
There is a wide range of gardening experience within the group, the link between us is a love of plants and wanting to know more about how to grow them.

Local History Research Group
The purpose of this group is to encourage research into local history and to learn about the work that is ongoing and that has been completed.

Local Studies Group
The Local Studies Group covers a wide range of topics, not just of relevance to the immediate Nailsworth area but within the county as a whole.

Ramblers Group
The group meets on the 4th Thursday of each month Feb-Nov for a 4-5 mile walk. See the Notice Board in the Library foyer for details, one week beforehand.

Theatregoers Group
See the Notice Board in the Library Foyer for dates of our 10-12 theatre outings each year and for booking arrangements..

Welcome to the Arts, Crafts & Music Group

Originally “The Ceramics and Decorative Arts Group”, we expanded in 2006 to include all arts and also music. We meet at 7.30pm on the first Monday of the month, bank holidays excepted, in the Mortimer Rooms.

We have speakers who show slides and often demonstrate crafts or illustrate talks with music. Every September we have a visit to a country house with important arts and crafts collections.

In December we organise a Christmas party, jointly with the Local Studies Group; all members of the Society are welcome.
