Welcome to The Arts Society Leeds website.

The Arts Society Leeds is a member of The Arts Society (formerly National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Society), a leading education charity based in London.  It has a global network of local Societies connecting people to the arts and to each other. 

Find out more About Us on the OUR SOCIETY pages including where we meet and how to become a member.

Select LECTURES from the drop down menu for details of our lecture programme.  All lectures will be held at our normal venue, Castle Grove Hall in Headingley.   Lectures start at 1.30 pm but members/visitors are asked to be seated by 1.15 pm so that the lecture can start on time.

Non-members are welcome: advance booking is recommended.  Contact the Membership Secretary to book. We hope to see you at one of our lectures in the near future.

In addition to monthly lectures, we also organise Visits and Study Days.  To check out the VISITS section, select from WHAT'S ON menu.  Check out Visits arranged for Spring and Autumn 2026.
