National Arts Society

Our parent organisation The Arts Society is a voluntary arts education charity with 330 societies in UK and Europe with 90,000 members worldwide. The Arts Society Cavendish was founded in 1985 by an enthusiastic group of local people, many of whom are still members contributing to the activities and enjoying the varied programme.
