The Arts Society Chipstead

is the local society of The Arts Society covering not only Chipstead but also Banstead, Nork, Woodmansterne and the surrounding areas.

We are a friendly group of over 250 members. We meet on the first Wednesday of the month from September to June at The Community Hall in Banstead. Doors open at 9.30 a.m. for coffee or tea and the lectures begin at 10.30 a.m..

Our speakers are drawn from a directory maintained by The Arts Society and they are all experts in their own specialist field of the decorative or fine arts.  In addition to our monthly meetings we organise study days, coach outings to historic houses, art galleries and places of interest associated with the arts.

Visitors are welcome to lectures at a cost of £10 per lecture.






LATEST NEWS

Latest News........June 2026

Northumbria Holiday
To all participants,
Please remember to send your final payment to Tailored Travel by 31st JULY.

Tailored Travel will send you full details of the holiday before we travel. There will also be a short meeting for all participants following the September lecture. Any concerns you may have can be discussed then and we will confirm details for our departure - which will be from The Community Hall Car Park.

I will be on holiday during July and the beginning of August, should you need to make contact please send an e-mail but communication may be slow!

Happy Summer - let’s hope it is not too hot!


......and so....we reach our final lecture of the 2025/26 season. How quickly the time seems to have gone this year! Our final lecture was very well attended and was rated as ‘excellent’ by those who voted.

It has been a very successful year once again for The Society with Membership numbers consistently high and a healthy Waiting List. In addition to our monthly lectures we have had some excellent outings, a very successful holiday and three further activities in The Community which hopefully have widened our profile - a Special Interest Day, a lecture as part of Banstead Arts Festival and an event at Banstead Library for the younger members of the local community. Your Committees have worked really hard on your behalf and on your behalf I send them all grateful thanks.

Subscriptions for next year are being taken now. The Society has ‘gone paperless’! But the latest news letter tells you how to go about paying. If you are worried about missing your monthly Art Society boost there are still two events on the 2025/26 calendar - The Bluebell Railway in June and A Walk Around Carshalton in August.
A happy Summer to you all. Looking forward to seeing you in September.

Anne Fuller

PS. A reminder to all those joining the holiday to Northumbria that payment is due by 1st August!
