Ashridge Decorative and Fine Arts
Society is a voluntary society based near Ashridge, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire. We promote
knowledge for education, appreciation and
study of the decorative and fine arts through lectures, study
days, visits and tours.
By joining ADFAS you will have the opportunity to:
- attend regular lectures by experts in their subjects
- enjoy stimulating study days, tours and visits
- meet new friends with similar artistic interests
- take part in a range of volunteer activities.
To get an understanding of the activities of our Society,
you can see our current lecture programme here. In addition to
the lectures, we organise study groups, tours and visits to private
houses, museums, exhibitions and theatre visits. We sometimes
arrange educational art activities for school children and voluntary
preservation and recording work in relation to the decorative
and fine arts.
