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 Theatregoers Group

The Theatregoers group is popular in the Nailsworth Society. Visits to local theatres (Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Cheltenham, Malvern or Stratford) are arranged monthly and advertised in advance on the Society Notice Board in Nailsworth Library.

Show details include departure time, cost and how to pay. Write your name and tickets you require on the list and note the final date for payment (at least 5 weeks before the show). Payment in advance includes the show, transport, drivers tip and a small administrative charge.

The varied programme includes plays, musicals, ballet, opera and classical theatre. Most performances are weekday or Saturday matinees but some, like opera, are in the evening.

As well as the enjoyment of going to the theatre, it is a sociable way to meet other society members and convenient to travel by coach. Transport is from Nailsworth Bus Station and other limited stops by arrangement.
