Wide Scope of Topics
Our monthly lectures are a core part of the many activities run by The Arts Society Stamford.
Our aim is to choose a balance of subject matter from over 370 lecturers who are accredited by our Head Office in London.
While it may not be possible to please everyone all the time, we hope that there is something our members will find of interest.
Members sometimes remark they had not expected to be enthralled by a certain lecture, but have been pleasantly surprised and found themselves enjoying the lectures far more than they had anticipated.
