Welcome to The Arts Society Wessex Area

Enriching lives with a love of the arts

The Arts Society Wessex Area is one of 19 Areas around the United Kingdom.  Our team gives practical support to the 18 societies in the Wiltshire, Somerset and Dorset area as well as running a five day Study Day Course through the winter period in Cerne Abbas.

There are 18 societies in Wessex Area covering Wiltshire, Dorset and parts of Somerset - please click the 'Find a Society' tab to see the map showing the location of these societies and go to their websites for their superb lectures and events. The list of our Wessex societies and their meeting day and time are HERE.

We would also welcome Arts Society members and guest to the Area Study Days -  bringing people together to enjoy the Arts. The individual societies also welcome visitors to join their study days and a list can be found in the 'Events' section above and clicking the 'Calendar' tab.
