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 Gardening Group

Nailsworth Gardening Group meets at 7.30pm on the 3rd Monday of each month in the Mortimer Rooms. We have a regular attendance of about 30-35 members and there is a wide range of gardening experience within the group, from complete novice to life-long gardener.

The link between us is a love of plants and wanting to know more about how to grow them. It is a very friendly group and new members are welcome.

We try to provide speakers on relevant gardening topics that will interest members. These tend to either be about a specific group of plants, practical skills such as pruning, or garden features such as how to build a pond or plan an herbaceous border.

We also arrange 3 trips per year to various gardens. The cost for these is not included in the annual subscription, but are not expensive.

We welcome any suggestions as to future speakers or trips - we want to provide members with what they want!
