We will visit historical buildings , museums, exhibitions and go on Victorian literary and historical walks. Possibilities include the Cummings Museum in Southwark, the newly refurbished Dickens Museum, a history …

Some of the art societies are a bit stuffy. I would like to start a group that has amateur artists and appreciators of art who can meet up to visit art exhibitions, galleries, museums and maybe hold art days. Perhaps a group of us could hire a studio/room or whatever. Maybe some of us could hold joint exhibitions of our work to reduce costs? Anyway, whatever interest you have in art, it would be good to hear from you :)

Hello my name is Saphyre and I come from Paris. I have lived in Coventry for a year.

MISS DAY TRIP will organize many events in the West Midland as: Day …

Do you end up leaving the gallery more tired and confused than enlightened or inspired? It doesn't have to be like that. In a regular series of Friday …
