Outings, Visits, Study Days and Holidays
We run occasional special events, and trips to places of particular art interest - of all sorts! Sometimes just a day visit, sometimes over several days including hotel accommodation and visits to a number of locations in the area. Study Days may involve a look in depth at a topic or even a practical workshop.
Arts and Crafts Architecture in the Lake District
A rare opportunity to visit two of the best examples in the Lake District of private houses, designed by two of Britain’s famous architects of the “Arts and Crafts” Movement: Broad Leys and Blackwell, both just south of Bowness-on-Windermere and with stunning views over the lake.
