Arts Society Lunesdale

The Arts Society is a leading arts education charity with a global network of over 380 local Societies, which bring people together through a shared interest in the arts.

Arts Society Lunesdale is the local branch of the Arts Society and meets here at the Borwick & Priest Hutton Memorial Hall, on the third Tuesday of the month to hear expert lecturers share their specialist knowledge about the arts. The Society also offers study days and outings for members.
