Welcome to The Arts Society North Bucks

The Arts Society North Bucks was launched in 2009. Currently we have about 200 members and enjoy a lively programme of monthly lectures on a wide variety of arts-related topics, plus usually two Special Interest Days and external visits each year. Since Covid restrictions ended in 2022, members have been enjoying our return to live lectures in Lovat Hall, Newport Pagnell, our usual lecture venue. We meet on the second Thursday of each month (except in July and August); coffee is served from 10.15-10:50a.m.,  and the lecture is at 11.00a.m., lasting for about an hour. 

Members of the Society come from the many towns and villages in North Bucks, including the largest, Milton Keynes (now of course a city!), Olney and Newport Pagnell.  Guests and potential new members are very welcome to lectures: just come along if you like the look of our programme, or contact Yve Morris, our Membership Secretary (see email address below) for more information. For a modest annual subscription, you can attend as many lectures as you wish.

The Society also has an active, enthusiastic group of church recorders, now operating under the auspices of the Church Recording Society. See news items and Gallery below. You can find out more about this volunteering activity at www.churchrecordingsociety.org.uk
