Welcome to The Arts Society Gade Valley

Gade Valley is one of the longest standing member societies of The Arts Society (formerly NADFAS) a leading educational arts charity. (www.theartssociety.org). It is a small, friendly society which meets on the 3rd Wednesday of the month between September and June. Venue: Potten End Village Hall, near Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire. Its aim is to provide anyone with a specific or general interest in the arts with the opportunity to explore and develop this interest.

Members are offered an exciting and wide ranging programme of lectures, presented by highly knowledgeable experts. Lecturers are drawn from a pool of over 300 speakers, accredited by The Arts Society and who offer a choice of over 4,000 lecture subjects.

In addition members can attend more in depth, special interest days and join visits to cultural venues such as art galleries, historic houses and gardens and museums.  Once a year members have the opportunity to book a cultural holiday either in the UK or abroad.

Run entirely by volunteers, the Society offers a great opportunity to meet people with similar interests, learn, have fun and make new and lasting friendships.
